Field: Optics (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC F  G

Claim 12:
13. A display system comprising:
illumination optics configured to produce illumination light;
a ferroelectric liquid crystal on silicon (fLCOS) panel configured to produce image light by modulating the illumination light using image data; and
a waveguide configured to propagate the image light, the fLCOS panel comprising:
a ferroelectric liquid crystal (fLC) layer, wherein the fLC layer has a birefringence Δn, and
a backplane configured to receive the illumination light through the fLC layer and configured to reflect the illumination light as the image light, wherein the fLC layer has a thickness equal to a wavelength divided by four times the birefringence Δn and wherein the wavelength is between 500 nm and 565 nm.
