Abstract

Liquid Crystal Light Modulators (LCLMs), primarily display devices, may act as remarkably flexible image operators. Flexibility may be enhanced using dedicated digital drivers which provide real-time changes in the power supply, safely limiting the energy delivered. On the other hand fixed oscillators optimize display modes. Discussed are challenges in utilizing LCLMs as composite operators with varying sequences of operations accessible in real-time.
