Abstract
An optically addressed spatial light modulator having a multilayer-type photo conductive layer with a charge carrier generation layer and a charge carrier transport layer having a large mobility. The light modulator also utilizes a liquid crystal composite layer including a transparent resin having a refractive index equal to the refractive index of the liquid crystal. The photoconductive layer and the liquid crystal layer are fixed to each other and the transparent electrodes are fixed to the two opposite sides of these layers. Utilizing the present invention an optically addressed spatial modulator is produced which can write with spectral light such as an infrared ray emitted from a semiconductor laser. The modulator has excellent qualities of sensitivity, light transmittance, hardness and spatial uniformity.
