“…21 Liquid crystals are also used in optoelectronic applications, as molecular switches and motors, as nano-and microfibers, in self-assembled nanostructures, semiconductors, sensors, nanophotonics and more. 22 Liquid crystals were first observed and characterized in 1888 by Friedrich Reinitzer, and thee distinct types of mesophase were further discovered in 1922 by Georges Friedel: the smectic, nematic, and cholesteric mesophases. The smectic mesophase is an opaque and viscous state, which very much resembles that found in soap.…”

“…Furthermore, for an ideal spatial light modulator no technology is capable of achieving LC pixels with size comparable to the wavelength of visible light. The reason is that the electric field deforms the orientation of the LC at the boundaries of the pixel and the need for electrical addressing elements reduces the LC pixel fill-factor [7,8]. These constraints have prevented its full applicability in holography.…”
