MULTIELEMENT ELECTROOPTIC TRANSDUCER AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: electrooptic displays. SUBSTANCE: on the first substrate there are mounted the first electrode system, the first insulating layer, the second electrode system. The first electrode of pair is single electrode that is mounted inside the region formed by the second electrode of pair. On the second substrate there are mounted the third electrode system, insulating layer, and the fourth system of electrodes that have electrical contacts with the second electrodes of pairs. The single electrodes are orthogonal to line electrodes and have electrical contacts with them. Liquid-crystal layer is made between the interdigit electrodes. Electric field to be varied by magnitude and direction for controlling each element of image transducer is produced by action of two orthogonally-directed homogeneous E-fields, successively or simultaneously, which are generated independently inside each element. EFFECT: increased quality factor. 2 cl, 4 dwg
