Liquid crystal cell and method of assembly of same

摘要

A liquid crystal cell (40) for an electron beam-addressed liquid crystal light valve has a rigid glass substrate (16) and target substrate (44) formed of thin flexible material. The cell (40) is constructed so that the spacing between the flexible substrate (44) and the rigid substrate (16) is precisely maintained. A fixture (72) is employed for attaching the target substrate (44) to the rim (102) of the light valve body (14) prior to assembly of the cell (40).
