Liquid crystal device
Abstract
Abstract PURPOSE:To enable the contact exposure of a photosensitive material and to eliminate the need for an image formation optical system by arranging microlenses for converging light incident on pixel electrodes and forming an image on a substrate corresponding to the pixel electrodes. CONSTITUTION:The microlenses 40 are arranged at a part which contacts a common electrode 14 in the transparent electrode 15A at positions corresponding to the pixel electrodes 13. Thus, a microlens 40 corresponding to each picture element is provided on a path in the transparent substrate 15A where light is transmitted to enable a liquid crystal device 10A itself to form an image. The focal lengths of the microlenses 40 is uniformed among the respective picture elements to form the image directly on the photosensitive material by controlling the parallel light 1 through a shutter, and an image is therefore formed without interposing any SELFOC lens array, etc., with image forming ability like before.
