Abstract:
In an apparatus for modulating light, a spatial light modulator includes a plurality of pixels and configured to modulate input light in response to a drive voltage for each of the pixels. An input value setting unit is configured to set an input value for the each of pixels. The input value is a digital value, an entire gray level of the digital value is “N”, and “N” is a natural number. A converting unit is configured to convert the input value to a control value. A control value is a digital value, an entire gray level of the control value is “M”, and “M” is a natural number greater than “N”. A driving unit is configured to convert the control value to a voltage value and drive the each of the pixels in response to the drive voltage corresponding to the voltage value.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus for modulating light, the apparatus comprising:\n a spatial light modulator including a plurality of pixels and configured to modulate input light in response to a drive voltage for each of the pixels; an input value setting unit configured to set an input value for the each of the pixels, wherein the input value is a digital value having one of a total of N different input levels, and \u201cN\u201d is a natural number; a converting unit configured to convert the input value to a control value, wherein the control value corresponds to a voltage value, and is a digital value having one of a total of M different levels, \u201cM\u201d being a natural number greater than \u201cN\u201d; and a driving unit configured to receive the control value from the converting unit, convert the control value to a voltage value, and drive each of the pixels with the drive voltage corresponding to the voltage value, the voltage value being one of the total of M different levels, wherein a working voltage range is set within an operating voltage range, the working voltage range being a range from a minimum value Q to a maximum value R, and linearity is allocated for the working voltage range for which the total of M different levels is set.
