Title: Building Blocks for Success of LCOS
Abstract: The concept of liquid crystal on silicon has been around for many years. However, the emergence of this technology into the consumer market has taken much longer than any of the early pioneers predicted. The integration of LCOS into commercial products has required the close co-operation of technologists in a broad range of disciplines. In this presentation an overview of the essential building blocks for success in this field will be presented. The presentation will start with a summary of critical requirements for products. We will then cover specific technical issues related to the integration of technologies into competitive products. Areas for discussion will include silicon architecture, LC design, device reliability, retardation compensation, polarizing optics, metrology and product design.
Speaker Background: Matthew Bone, a Senior Director of Optical Systems in Aurora Systems, received a BSc Honors Degree in Chemistry from University Wales, UK. Over 20 years experience in the field of Liquid Crystals, Flat Panel Displays, Projection Optics, Non-Imaging Optics and Display Systems Engineering. Published over 18 technical papers covering Optical System Design, Illumination, Electro optics, Liquid Crystal Materials, Electrical Addressing and Materials Physics.
