Abstract

The invention relates to an electro-optical transducer, comprising at least two electrodes and at least one optical layer placed between the electrodes and manufactured from a light-transmitting, electro-optical material, the optical properties of this layer depending on the strength of an electric field applied by the electrodes over the layer, wherein the optical layer is divided into optical sub-layers by separating layers extending substantially transversely of the direction of the electric field generated by the electrodes. The transducer is found to be active only in the vicinty of one of the two boundary layers as a result of the presence of a depletion layer and an accumulation layer, which in any case only extend in the vicinity of one of the boundary surfaces. By providing additional separating layers the number of boundary surfaces increases, and therewith the number of depletion and accumulation layers. The desired effect will hereby extend through a greater part of or the whole volume of the optical layer.
