            Abstract : 
A new light valve is described. The device is a cathode-ray tube (CRT) that incorporates a liquid-crystal cell as the electron-beam target. This light valve uses simple "slide projector" optics and has demonstrated initial (nonoptimized) performance of 512 × 512 line resolution and > 50:1 contrast ratio.
