Ultralow-voltage image intensifiers

A novel reflective image intensifier based on the twisted nematic electro-optic effect is described. The device can be read out with intense actinic radiation without need for an optical blocking layer. Images of very high resolution and excellent tonal range can be obtained at voltage levels as low...

Description
Summary:A novel reflective image intensifier based on the twisted nematic electro-optic effect is described. The device can be read out with intense actinic radiation without need for an optical blocking layer. Images of very high resolution and excellent tonal range can be obtained at voltage levels as low as 1.6 Vrms.
