Abstract
A liquid crystal on silicon device comprises a mirror layer comprising a plurality of mirror electrodes, a passivation layer formed on the surface of the mirror layer comprising a plurality of openings to the mirror electrodes, and a liquid crystal layer being arranged on top of the alignment layer. Ions trapped in the alignment layer are discharged through the opening by means of the mirror electrodes of the mirror layer.
