Patent ID: 7956972

Claim:
A liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) display panel comprising: a transparent substrate, wherein a common electrode is disposed on a surface of the transparent substrate; a semiconductor substrate, wherein a plurality of pixel electrodes and control electrodes are disposed on a surface of the semiconductor substrate with respect to the common electrode, wherein each of the control electrodes is disposed between and isolated with two adjacent ones of the pixel electrodes, each of the pixel electrodes receives a pixel voltage and each of the control electrodes receives a certain voltage which is determined in accordance with the received pixel voltages of the adjacent pixel electrodes, wherein an electric field is generated by the common electrode and the control electrodes to tilt liquid crystal molecules between the control electrodes and the common electrode; a passivation layer on the pixel electrodes and a part of the semiconductor substrate; anti-reflection coating (ARC) layers on the control electrodes; and a liquid crystal layer between the transparent substrate and the semiconductor substrate.
