In the light valve of the present invention, the SBN single crystal plate is operated as a longitudinal operation mode electro-optic material, and the birefringence shows a non-linear change and a hysteresis loop by a change in an applied electric field. The residual birefringence is used as an optical read/write memory. Also, a threshold of abrupt non-linear change region of the birefringence hysteresis loop may be used advantageously for selecting a voltage applied to the electrode, whereby cross-talk in addressing is avoided.,下面是Light valve专利的具体信息内容。

11. A light valve in accordance with claim 10, which further comprises a row addressing means for selectively applying a potential to said row electrodes and a column addressing means for selectively applying a potential to said column electrodes.
12. A light valve in accordance with claim 11, in which said monocrystalline plate shows a non-linear change in birefringence in a specified range of the electrical field applied to said monocrystalline plate, and the potential fed from said row and column addressing means and applied to said row and column electrodes, respectively, has been chosen to be of such a value that develops an electrical field of a value less than said specified non-linear range, in a polarity opposite to each other, respectively, thereby developing a total electrical field of a value larger than said specified non-linear range at a specified location in said monocrystalline plate addressed as an intersection of the selected row and column electrodes.
13. A light valve in accordance with claim 11, in which said monocrystalline plate shows a residual birefringence with respect to a change in said electrical field applied to said monocrystalline plate, and the potential fed from said row and column addressing means and applied to said row and column electrodes, respectively, has been chosen to be such a value that causes a residual birefringence at a specified location in said monocrystalline plate addressed as an intersection of the selected row and column electrodes.
14. A light valve in accordance with claim 13, which further comprises means for applying a potential to said row and column electrodes for developing an electrical field in said monocrystalline plate for erasing said residual birefringence in said specified location.
