Liquid crystal beam steering components for display applications

Recently, beam steering devices based on liquid crystals have attracted new interest. Such components provide easy electrical modulation, have no moving parts, can be very compact and offer process compatibility with existing technology. Here we present such an electrically controllable micro-optical component for light beam steering and light intensity distribution, consisting of standard nematic liquid crystal on polymer micro prisms and offering continuous beam angle modulation.
