Abstract

The simple configuration of a liquid crystal (LC) cell shutter has been investigated for the purpose of rapid switching time. The LC cell is designed to cater for oblique incident light with vertical alignment. A decrease in switch-off time is observed when the azimuth angle of the incident light is either parallel or perpendicular to the optical axis of the polariser and about 45° to the optical axis of the LC tilt. A LC cell having a larger extinction ratio has been devised in which retardation films are no longer required.
