Liquid crystal light valve(LCLV) using an a-Si:H/μc-Si:H heterostructure as the photosensor and the nematic liquid crystal as the modulator has been firstly presented for large screen projection display. The a-Si:H photoconductor and μc-Si:H light blocking layer were prepared by a modified glow discharge CVD method. The optoelectric and structure properties of the μc-Si:H films deposited at different deposition conditions have been studied. The a-Si:H film and the continuously deposited pc-Si:H film possibly form an a-Si:H/μc-Si:H heterojunction. The electrical and optoelectric properties of the heterojunction has been studied.
LCLV using a-Si:H/μc-Si:H heterostructure has shown that the most aspects of the device performance can be improved.
