The Development of Data Projectors

The LCDs utilised in projection systems are generally small reflective or transmissive panels set off by a bright arc lamp source. A series of lenses enlarges the reflected or transmitted image then displays it on a screen. With front-projection systems the LCD is located on the side of the screen as the viewer, although in rear-projection systems the screen is lit from behind. Projectors of higher cost and capability sometimes have three separate LCD panels, forming separate red, green, and blue images that come together to create a coloured display on the screen.

The increasing need for visual presentations has granted a special emphasis on the switching speed of liquid crystals. This has demanded the invention of devices utilizing smectic liquid crystals, some of which possess a quicker electro-optical response than nematic liquid crystals. The surface-stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal (SSFLC) display is in the current day the most progressive smectic device. In it the liquid crystal molecules are cast in layers perpendicular to the substrate planes, which are differentiated by one or two micrometres, and within the layers the molecules are tilted, as illustrated in the figure. The host liquid crystal has optically active molecules, and a subtle turn up of the optical activity and the shape of the molecules is the presence of a permanent charge separation, or ferroelectric dipole, comparable to the ferromagnetic dipole of a magnet. The direction of this dipole is perpendicular to the tilt direction of the molecules and within the plane of the layers. So, there is a permanent charge separation throughout the liquid crystal layer in the SSFLC, and its sign is directly attracted to the tilt direction of the molecules. An applied voltage of the corresponding sign can reverse the direction of this dipole in tens of microseconds and by doing so reverse the tilt direction of the molecules. The corresponding change in optical properties can effect a change from light to dark when one or more polarizers are used.

SSFLC devices have been produced for big passive-matrix displays, but their expensiveness and intricacy has hindered them from creating any great effect on the market. Small transmissive and reflective active-matrix SSFLC displays, however, have some promise for use as parts in projection systems or as viewfinders in digital cameras. Their fast responding allows them to be used in time-sequential colour systems, in which expensive colour filters are replaced by a coloured backlight that flashes red, green, and blue in quick succession (around 100 cycles in a second). For example, the liquid crystal can be switched to a transmissive state for the red and green periods then to a nontransmissive state for the blue period, creating the end result that the eye sees an average of red and green light, or the colour yellow.
