Abstract
Spatial light modulator (SLM) technology has made tremendous progress in the past few years. Thus, device technologies such as active matrix-driven liquid crystal devices (LCDs) and ferroelectric LC (FLC) devices as well as micro-mirror SLMs, regarded as exotic novelties less than two decades ago, are now commercially available and constitute a significant share of the display market.
