The LCDs used in projection systems are generally small reflective or transmissive panels set off by a forceful arc lamp source. A line of lenses enlarges the reflected or transmitted image then sends it onto a screen. With front-projection systems the LCD is placed on the same area of the screen as the viewer, although in rear-projection systems the screen is lit up from behind. Projectors of greater expense and capacity can utilise three separated LCD panels, casting separate red, green, and blue images that blend to create a coloured image on the screen.
The growth in need for pictographic displays has put a growth in emphasis on the switching speed of liquid crystals. This has demanded the invention of objects build with smectic liquid crystals, particular kinds of which have a speedier electro-optical response than nematic liquid crystals. The surface-stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal (SSFLC) display is at this point the most progressive smectic device. With it the liquid crystal molecules are set out in layers perpendicular to the substrate planes, which are distanced by one or two micrometres, and in the layers the molecules are on a slant, as illustrated in the figure. The host liquid crystal contains optically active molecules, and a scarcely perceptible outcome of the optical activity and the tilt of the molecules is the presence of a permanent charge separation, or ferroelectric dipole, comparable to the ferromagnetic dipole of a magnet. The direction of this dipole is perpendicular to the tilt direction of the molecules and in the plane of the layers. Thus, there exists a permanent charge separation throughout the liquid crystal layer in the SSFLC, and its sign is directly coupled to the tilt direction of the molecules. An applied voltage of the correct sign can reverse the direction of this dipole in tens of microseconds and therefore reverse the tilt direction of the molecules. The corresponding change in optical properties can cause a change from light to dark if or when one or more polarizers are used.
SSFLC devices have been publicized for bigger passive-matrix displays, but their cost and complex nature has prevented them from enjoying any particular progress on the market. Small transmissive and reflective active-matrix SSFLC displays, however, display some possibility for use as parts in projection systems or as viewfinders in digital cameras. Their fast reacting allows them to be made use of in time-sequential colour systems, in which expensive colour filters are replaced with a coloured backlight that flashes red, green, and blue in rapid succession (approximately 100 cycles in a second). For example, the liquid crystal could be switched to a transmissive state in the red and green periods and then to a nontransmissive state during the blue period, creating the outcome that the eye sees an average of red and green light, or the colour yellow.
