In order to better apply LCD to the gated imaging system
based on the electro-optic effect of LCD
the relationships between transmittance and wavelength
birefringence index
voltage are derived theoretically. The dispersive of twisted nematic liquid crystal is quantitatively analyzed from the relationship of effective birefringence and transmittance. By the grating spectrometer
the transmittance of liquid crystal is measured and analyzed using Sony LCX023CMT TFT-LCD at 380~1 100 nm wavelength and altering grey level from 0 ~ 255 in this experiment. It was found that the LCX023CMT LCD has a low dispersion within the visible light. But dispersion increased along with the gray level. Two pictures have been shot under same environment by self-made partial gated imaging system or without which are contrasted each other
and there is little dispersive effect which can not affected the imaging quality. The partial light intensity gated can be realized for the strong near infrared by its 12% transmittance.
