3The part (A) of top minitype reflector 530a and the part (B) of bottom minitype reflector 503a can form a pixel.
In other words, because top minitype reflector 530a has reflecting surface, its reflection incident light allows incident light to arrive bottom reflection part 503a by perforate to form reflected light simultaneously.Reflection part 503a in bottom reflects incident light to form reflected light then, and therefore the light from top minitype reflector 530a reflection interferes with each other with the light that reflects from bottom minitype reflector 530a, forms diffraction light thus.The diffraction light intensity depends on the distance between top minitype reflector 530a and the bottom reflection part 503a.
In this case, the perforate 531a by top minitype reflector 530a
1To 531a
3Incident light can incide on the appropriate section of bottom minitype reflector 503a, and the difference in height between top minitype reflector 530a and bottom minitype reflector 503a produces the strongest diffraction light when being one of odd-multiple of λ/4.Equally, at this, a unit 510a only is shown, the diffractive light modulator based on perforate still of the present invention can comprise a plurality of unit parallel to each other.In other words, the diffractive light modulator based on perforate of the present invention can comprise cell array, and it is shown in Fig. 5 and 6.
