In this work, the use of antiferroelectric and V-shape liquid crystals for video projection using LCOS microdisplays has been explored. Antiferroelectric grey levels arise from a double symmetric hysteresis loop that can be stabilised by a constant holding voltage, thus an active matrix is not strictly required in this case. If used, then the voltage levels and the waveform must be adjusted to fulfil the voltage limitations dictated by the matrix. V-shape materials lack hysteresis ; therefore the active matrix is mandatory to stabilise the levels. Voltage limitations, however, are less restrictive int his case, since V-shape smectics require just a few volts for full switching.
