OPTICAL MODULATOR WITH PIXELIZATION PATTERNS
First Claim
1. An optical modulator comprising:
- an optical-electric (O-E) conversion element that converts an optical image into signals through a photoelectric effect;
an electric-optical (E-O) conversion element that emits light using the signals from the O-E conversion element; and
a trench having a predetermined depth from at least a surface of the optical modulator to block or reduce electric interferences between pixels when the signals are transferred from the O-E conversion element to the E-O conversion element.

Abstract
Provided is an optical modulator having pixelization patterns. The optical modulator includes an optical-electric (O-E) conversion element converting input optical images to current signals using the photoelectric effect, and an electric-optical (E-O) conversion element that emits light using the current signals transferred from the O-E conversion element. Trenches are formed from at least a surface of the optical modulator to a predetermined depth in the optical modulator so as to block or reduce electrical interference between pixels when the electric signals are transferred from the O-E conversion element to the E-O conversion element.
