Abstract:
An electro-optical device of the invention includes a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other with an electro-optical medium sandwiched therebetween, a pixel region having a plurality of pixels, and an ion trap section having an electrode formed in a region outside of the pixel region. A trapping voltage applied to the electrode of the ion trap section varies in accordance with a calculated voltage value that is calculated from a driving voltage applied to the electro-optical medium in one or a plurality of the pixels serving as a reference. The trapping voltage is set relatively high when the calculated voltage value belongs to a relatively high voltage range, and the trapping voltage is set relatively low when the calculated voltage value belongs to a relatively low voltage range.
Abstract:
An orientation controller which divides a pixel into a plurality of different priority alignment regions and an additional orientation controller are provided in a pixel. The additional orientation controller is provided at least at an end of a pixel of a long-side alignment region formed along the long side of the pixel among the divided alignment regions, for example, around a center position of the long side of the pixel. The additional orientation controller can be realized, for example, by forming a cutout pattern in a side of a first electrode (pixel electrode) forming a part of the pixel. Because the alignment direction is also controlled by the additional orientation controller, the alignment of liquid crystal in this region is stabilized.
Abstract:
The invention relates to optical waveguide switches wherein input light propagating in an input waveguide may be switched between two output waveguides by means of a carrier-induced total internal reflection. The switches utilizes a double-reflection, or, generally, a multiple-reflection electrode to reduce the light deflection angle at each reflection interface, thereby enabling to increase the light switching angle and/or decrease the power consumption of the switch.

Abstract:
An electro-optic device with a doped semiconductor base and a plurality of pixels on the semiconductor base. Pixels include oppositely doped semiconductor layer and a top electrode formed on the oppositely doped semiconductor layer. The top electrode has a grid pattern with at least one busbar and a plurality of fingers extending from the busbar, and spacing between the fingers decreases with distance from the bondpad along the busbar. Each pixel can also include a multiple quantum well formed on the semiconductor base. The top electrode shape produces an approximately uniform lateral resistance in the pixel. An embodiment is a large area modulator for modulating retro-reflector systems, which typically use large area surface-normal modulators with large lateral current flow. Uniform resistance to each part of the modulator decreases location dependence of frequency response. A chirped grid electrode balances semiconductor sheet resistance and metal line resistance components of the series resistance.
