Market Overview:
The global liquid crystal spatial light modulators market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for beam shaping and optics applications, and the growing use of liquid crystal spatial light modulators in laser material processing and holography. In terms of type, the reflective spatial light modulator segment is expected to account for a larger share of the global market than the transmissive spatial light modulator segment during the forecast period. However, due to technological advancements and increasing demand for miniaturized devices, transmissive spatial light modulators are expected to witness higher growth rates than reflective spatial light modulators during the forecast period.
Product Definition:
Liquid crystal spatial light modulators are devices that use liquid crystals to control the path of light. They are used in displays, optical switches, and other applications.
Reflective Spatial Light Modulators:
Reflective spatial light modulators are devices that can be used to create images by directing and controlling the light. They consist of a array of micro prisms that reflect the incoming light along different paths creating an image on the screen. The technology has been around for quite some time but only recently have they started to grow in popularity due to their ability to create moving images with 3D effects which cannot be achieved through 2D techniques like video or film recording.
Transmissive Spatial Light Modulators:
Transmissive spatial light modulators are devices that can change the intensity of light as it passes through them. They work by modifying the refractive index of a medium through which light is passing. The most common type of transmissive SLM is a cellophane or plastic film, upon which images can be printed and then used to create an animation or video.
Application Insights:
The optics application segment led the global liquid crystal spatial light modulators market in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. Growing demand for LCOS-based projectors in smartphones, tablets, laptops and monitors is expected to drive growth over the coming years. Moreover, increasing adoption of LCOS technology in various optical applications such as laser material processing and holography is anticipated to propel industry growth over the coming years.
LCoS-based reflective spatial light modulators are used for beam shaping applications that involve controlling an incident beam into a collimated output beam which can be used for various purposes such as 3D display, scanning systems or lasers among others.
Regional Analysis:
North America accounted for the largest share of over 35% in 2017. The growth is attributed to increasing R&D activities and technological advancements in the industry. For instance, researchers from Stanford University have developed a liquid crystal material that can be used for creating light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with high efficiency and low cost. This has led to an increase in adoption of spatial light modulators across various industries such as automotive, aerospace & defense, marine technology, etc., thereby boosting market growth across North America region.
Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising adoption by end-use industries such as healthcare & science, education & training institutes for teaching practical lessons based on LCLS technology platform offered by universities/research centers.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for 3D displays in consumer electronics and automotive industries
- Rising demand for LC SLMs in optical communication and medical imaging applications
- Growing popularity of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies
- Proliferation of head-mounted displays (HMDs) for AR/VR applications
- Increasing research and development investments in LC SLM technology
