The invention relates to the field of optical instrumentation, quantum and optical nanoelectronics, as well as useful for display and TV equipment. The device is an electro-optical multilayer structure consisting of a film of nematic liquid crystal (NLC), sensitized photosensitive complex charge-transfer-based systems: a photosensitive pyridine structure of the fullerene. For the orientation of the molecules of the LCD is used orienting surface on the basis of nanotubes. In the operation of this device it is proposed to use a pulsed power mode and constant mode of illumination. The technical result is an improved switching times, see table 1.

The invention relates to the field of optical instrument, in particular for the construction of electric and sitopaladi liquid crystal-spatial light modulators (LC-PWM)used in modulation systems, recording and reading optical information, conversion from one frequency range to another, switching threads radiation, emission restrictions and may be considered as a display element of a new generation of high performance for television, medical, display and laser technology.

The modulator is a key element of SK is m registration display and switching of optical information, perform transactions in real time [1-3]. It is the redistribution of radiation due to a change in birefringence LCD caused by changing the orientation of liquid crystal molecules at the interface: solid-electro-optical LCD mesophase enabling electric (or length) of the field. Specifications LCD PWMs are determined by the spectral parameters of the LCD layer sensitized with dyes, fullerenes, etc. depend on the matching of the refractive indices of the LCD and sensitizing components are determined by the type of the electro-optic effect in the LCD, the nature of the orienting coverage, the terms of negotiation power modes and modes of exposure (writing)other aspects.

Among a wide class of electrically-controlled LCD PWMs polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PGK) modulators occupy a special place. The action of these modulators based on important features of the LCD to show the presence of weak dispersion forces between molecules and high orienting ability. The latter is used when creating composite materials. LCD Orient suspended particles in them and act as molecular matrix, easily managed by an external field. Particles become sensitive to the action of the external field and, in financial p is Tata, changing the orientation of the liquid crystal matrix. The external field acting on the volume of the LCD, and orienting the surface (and hence to the surrounding molecules of the LCD). Thus, the electric field applied to the liquid crystal, or flowing through the electric current environment, is able to reorient the molecules of the LCD. In addition, the polymer-dispersed LCD PWMs unique because of possible combinations in one layer of the electrooptical parameters LCD components, as well as photosensitivity and plasticity polymeric bases [3].

A known design of electrically controlled nematic LCD PWMs selected as the analogue of [4], containing as an electro-optical layer of polymer-dispersed nematic LC sensitized with a mixture of photosubstitution the polyimide-pyridine structure - fullerene and as an orienting layer photosubstitution the polyimide. The device worked in a mode of constant illumination with a pulsed voltage, and showed speed: 2.5 MS switch - on time and 4ms - off time. In the experiment the authors [4] have studied the rise of the electro-optic response of the first oscillation bandwidth, clearly recorded transition in neighboring extreme position on S-curve that corresponded to the change of the phase the delay on π . The disadvantage of this design of the modulator was insufficient performance, making it difficult to use this device in high-speed television, display, topographic, correlation of laser systems.

Performance nematic PGC was worse than, for example, smectic LCD.

A disadvantage of the known design of the modulator is low performance.

Known design PGC modulator containing the electro-optical layer of polymer-dispersed nematic LC sensitized with a mixture of pyridine structure - fullerene and as an orienting layer photosubstitution polyimide [5]. The device worked in a mode of constant illumination with a pulsed voltage, and showed speed: 0.1 MS switch - on time and 0.3-0.5 MS - off time. Reduction of switching times was associated with a predominant use of anisotropic molecules of fullerenes With70and not With60. The disadvantage of this design of the modulator was insufficient performance, making it difficult to use this device in high-speed television, display, holographic, laser correlation systems, and in systems where the frequency of the acting external signal exceeds the television standard of 25 Hz.

Technical results the ohms of the invention is to improve performance PGC modulator.

This result is achieved in that in a liquid-crystal spatial-temporal light modulator on the basis of fullerensoderzhashchikh pyridine structures for display and TV equipment containing nematic liquid crystal as the electro-optic modulating medium and the orienting layer, used a polymer-dispersed nematic liquid crystal, sensitized with a mixture consisting of a set of charge transfer: the pyridine molecule fullerene, and orienting layer is made as thin films of carbon nanotubes. Implementation guide covering in the form of a coating on the basis of nanotubes creates more favorable conditions for the redistribution of voltage between the conductive coating and an LCD that allows you to more effectively conduct the reorientation of the molecules of the LCD when turning on the electric field, significantly increasing performance (see table). During operation of the proposed design PJK used pulse voltage, and continuous illumination.

Comparative analysis with the prototype shows that the claimed PGC-modulator differs in that to improve the performance of electro-optical layer is used electro-optical layer of the same composition: NLC sensitized with a mixture consisting of a set of charge transfer: the pyridine molecule fullerene, but for the orientation of the LCD molecules used another guide floor, namely the coating on the basis of the nanotubes. Thus, the proposed device meets the criterion of "novelty."

The invention is illustrated by the drawing, which presents the design of the modulator (figure 1) and relief orienting surface on the basis of the nanotubes obtained by the method of atomic force microscopy (figure 2).

Offer PGC-modulator (figure 1) is a multi-layer system (figure 1), consisting of a layer of polymer-dispersed nematic liquid crystal with a thickness of 5-10 μm and orienting a layer of a thickness of ≤1 μm on the Nove evaporated in vacuum carbon nanotubes. The thickness of the LC layer was asked Teflon gaskets. The structure was between two glass or quartz substrates 15×22 mm2(we also used traditional substrate 35 mm in diameter) with transparent conductive coatings obtained by the method of vacuum deposition of indium oxide with the addition of oxide of tin.

Measuring the temporal characteristics PGC modulator was carried out according to the scheme given in [4] and patent [5], where he used He-Ne laser, a deck with filters for varying the power of the laser, the test sample and the analyzer behind the sample. For registration of the electro-optic response was used silicon photodiodes

PGC modulator worked as follows.

Continuous wave HeNe laser hit in the spectral region of the functioning of a nematic LC with the complex charge transfer: the pyridine molecule fullerene. The shift towards red wavelengths including the wavelength of the HeNe laser, 633 nm in the absorption spectra of the pyridine system with the introduction of fullerenes was first studied and it is shown in [6], and the process of complex formation is theoretically explained in [7]. The spot diameter on PGC-modulator was 3 mm, which significantly exceeded the size of the inhomogeneities in PGC layer of 200 nm. Maximum the exposure was 10 mW. The modulator is operated in the "transmission". To power the modulator was used pulse voltage with a pulse parameters: amplitude (A) 7-15, the duration (τPetefrom 1 to 3 MS and repetition frequency (1/T) from 0.5 to 100 Hz.

Electro-optical response was recorded after the analyzer behind PGC-modulator, using a photodiode and recorded on the oscilloscope TDS 220. The activation time was defined as the rise time of the electro-optic response of the level of 0.1 up to a level of 0.9 of its maximum value. The time off was defined as the decay time of the electro-optic response from its maximum value to the level of 0.1.

Use as electro-optical NLC layer sensitized with a mixture consisting of a set of charge transfer: the pyridine molecule fullerene, as well as orienting coating is a coating based on carbon nanotubes allowed 2 times to reduce the time and 3-5 times to reduce the magnitude of the amplitude of the control voltage. In addition, deposition of nanotubes in vacuum eliminates the appearance of discontinuities in orienting the floor associated with the traditional process of polishing the guide cover. Improved performance of the device, which is a necessary condition for the application of the modulator or display element, high-speed dis lanich and television systems, and in laser technology have reduced the time on and off with 0.1 and 0.3-0.5 MS [5] to 0.05 and 0.2-0.3 MS, respectively, that is, to increase the speed by 2 times. Performance cheap nematic LC mixture becomes comparable with expensive smectic composition, and structure of sensitized LCD mesophase becomes comparable with the structure of the smectic that is logged to reduce the phase transition temperature and increase of the order parameter, shown by the method of nuclear magnetic resonance [8]. The specified functional improvement of the device will allow to extend the scope of electro-optical PGC-light modulators in the system in real time.
