Abstract
The invention relates to an electro-optical device for detecting an electric field emitted locally by a sample (), comprising an upper () and a lower () polarizer, an active layer of liquid crystals () of variable polarization included between an upper () and a lower () alignment layer, having two perpendicular directions of alignment, and an upper () and lower () electrode liable to be connected to an AC voltage source () such that when a voltage difference (Vext) is applied, the layer of liquid crystals is immersed in the electric field formed between the two electrodes. It is essentially characterized in that it comprises a layer of anisotropic electrical conductors () in contact with the upper alignment layer or separated therefrom by the upper polarizer, the conductors being configured to transmit said electric field in only one direction secant to the alignment layers.
