SPATIAL LIGHT MODULATOR WITH INTEGRATED OPTICAL COMPENSATION STRUCTURE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To develop spatial light modulators having integrated optical compensation structures and further provide methods for making the spatial light modulators.SOLUTION: A spatial light modulator 40 comprises an integrated optical compensation structure, e.g., an optical compensation structure arranged between a substrate and a plurality of individually addressable light-modulating elements, or an optical compensation structure located on the opposite side of the light-modulating elements from the substrate. The individually addressable light-modulating elements 44 are configured to modulate light transmitted through or reflected from the transparent substrate 42.
