Abstract: Provided is a distributed optical phase modulator, comprising: a substrate (10); an optical waveguide (20) arranged on the substrate (10); a drive electrode (30) that is arranged on the substrate (10) and comprises a plurality of sub drive electrodes (31) arranged at intervals; and at least one shielding electrode (40), wherein at least some shielding electrodes and the sub drive electrodes (31) are arranged at intervals. The optical waveguide (20) sequentially passes through the sub drive electrodes (31) and the shielding electrodes (40). The length of each part of the drive electrode (30) is far less than the total length of an equivalent traditional modulator, and the drive signal voltage of each part is also far less than the drive signal voltage of the equivalent traditional modulator. In each part of the drive electrode (30), the propagation of an optical signal and the propagation of an electrical signal can be approximately synchronous, even synchronous. The phenomenon of walk-off between the optical signal and the electrical signal is minimized, and the upper limit of a modulation bandwidth is improved. The shielding electrodes (40) are respectively arranged between the sub drive electrodes (31), so that crosstalk between the sub drive electrodes (31) can be shielded, and crosstalk between the sub drive electrodes (31) can be greatly reduced.

Accordingly, the high-side electrode layer is formed from alternating discrete electrodes and resistors. The example system further includes a low-side electrode layer, and an electro-optic (EO) layer having an EO active material at least partially positioned between the high-side electrode layer and the low-side electrode layer, thereby forming a number of active cells of the EO layer.

Abstract: An optical modulator includes a first shifter and a second shifter. The first shifter includes a first waveguide through which first light passes, and a first electrode that causes power according to a drive voltage to act on the first waveguide. The first shifter shifts a phase of the first light passing through the first waveguide in accordance with the drive voltage applied to the first electrode. The second shifter includes a second waveguide through which second light passes, and a second electrode that causes power according to a drive voltage to act on the second waveguide. The second shifter shifts a phase of the second light passing through the second waveguide in accordance with the drive voltage applied to the second electrode. The second shifter is constituted to have a smaller amount of phase shift according to a predetermined amount of drive voltage than the first shifter.

Abstract: A common electrode for a display, which is originally provided in a liquid crystal display element, is also used as one (drive electrode) of a pair of electrodes for a touch sensor, and the other (detection-electrode-for-the-sensor) of the pair of electrodes is newly formed. An existing common drive signal as a drive signal for display is used in common for a drive signal for the touch sensor. A capacitance is formed between the common electrode and the detection-electrode-for-the-sensor, and touch detection is performed by utilizing a change of this capacitance caused by a finger touch of a user. Thus, a display device with a touch sensor is also applicable to a mobile device in which electric potential of the user is inconstant in many cases. The newly-provided electrode is only the detection-electrode-for-the-sensor, and it is unnecessary to newly prepare a drive signal for the touch sensor.

Abstract: In a liquid crystal type variable beam shaping optic, a part of a structure that forms a gap for the liquid crystals includes a surface relief micro-structure diffuser. Due to the micro-features of the diffuser, the gap is non-uniform. A voltage applied to an electrode associated with the diffuser and an electrode associated with an opposing substrate controls the orientation of uniaxial nematic liquid crystals in a material filling the non-uniform gap. For example, the index of refraction of the material may vary relative to an index of refraction of the diffuser, based on variations of the crystal orientation caused by variation of the applied voltage. The change in relative indices of refraction, in the examples, changes a focal length of the variable optic and thus the shape of a light beam optically processed through the liquid crystal optic.
