A liquid crystal cell fabrication method is presented that utilizes a deposited metal gasket moisture barrier bonding two opposing plates of glass each having a spacer layer to accurately control cell gap thickness along with an optional integrated thermal sensor and heater deposition layer sandwiched between both opposing plates of glass.

Fabrication method for liquid crystal cell

A liquid crystal cell is presented that utilizes a deposited metal gasket moisture barrier and support membrane bonding two opposing plates of glass, a thin film spacer layer to accurately control cell gap thickness, and an optional integrated thermal sensor and heater deposition layer sandwiched therebetween.

Liquid crystal cell platform

An optoelectronic circuit including: an IC chip made up of a substrate in which an optical waveguide and a mirror have been fabricated, the substrate having a first lens formed thereon, wherein the mirror is aligned with the optical waveguide and the first lens is aligned with the mirror to form an optical path connecting the first lens, the mirror, and the optical waveguide; and an optical coupler including a second lens, the optical coupler affixed to the substrate and positioned to align the second lens with the first lens so as to couple an optical signal into or out of the optical waveguide within the IC chip.
