Abstract

A brightness-enhanced full-color projection display using optically addressed spatial light modulators (SLMs) with light-scattering mode polymer-dispersed liquid crystal has been developed. The SLM can modulate strong unpolarized light efficiently using the light-scattering effect. The projector using SLM with a Schlieren optical system produces bright, high-contrast images. Electrical image compensation of the shading and gamma characteristics of the SLMs carried out in the driving circuits improves the spatial uniformity and grayscale representation of the projected images. The system projects a bright image of more than 1300 cd/m/sup 2/ with a high extinction ratio over 130:1 on a 60-inch screen, which can be viewed in a bright living room under normal lighting conditions.
