LCOS devices are driven by AC voltage, which can induce flickering caused by oscillation of liquid crystal molecules. While flicker may be negligible in visual applications, it can severely impact high-precision optical systems. Our SLM reduces flicker by operating at drive frequencies above 1 KHz. It also supports video signal input via a digital visual
