Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système d'imagerie à cristaux liquides, à réponse rapide et à contraste élevé. L'élément d'imagerie (901) utilise un composite de cristaux liquides (c'est à dire, constitué de cristaux liquides encapsulés) dont l'épaisseur est inférieure à 4 microns, et de préférence inférieure à 2,5 microns. L'élément d'imagerie est éclairé par au moins une source de lumière (903) placée de manière à faire un angle inférieur à 30 degrés par rapport à la normale à l'affichage. Le système de vision (1307) est placé du même côté de l'affichage que la source de lumière, de manière pratiquement normale à l'affichage. Dans une réalisation, le composite de cristaux liquides est soumis à un fonctionnement en mode inversé et une image virtuelle est créée. Dans une autre réalisation, au moins trois sources de lumière de couleurs différentes éclairent un élément d'imagerie à cristaux liquides. Les sources sont toutes placées à un angle faisant à peu près 30 degrés avec la normale à l'élément d'imagerie. Un microprocesseur (1311) est couplé à la fois aux sources de lumière (903) et à l'élément d'imagerie (901), ce qui permet ainsi de synchroniser les sources individuelles à lumière colorée avec la sortie de l'élément d'imagerie.
