    Abstract: An optical projection engine device uses a symmetrical wire grid polarizing beam splitter (PBS) that splits incident illumination to a symmetrical pair of polarized light beams in two orthogonal polarization states, one by reflection and the other by transmission, for illuminating a pair of reflective modulation imagers respectively. In identical geometric configuration, the two synchronized reflective modulation imagers polarization modulate polarized light beams as received, and reflect them back towards the PBS, which through transmission and reflection respectively, combines and projects two modulated light beams through a projection lens system to form a pair of spatially overlapped illumination images of aligned pixels with the same image in two orthogonal polarization states on a projection screen. The device jointly provides improvement optical efficiency and expanded function to three dimensional stereoscopic displays.

Under control of a control circuit, the movable electrode may shift to first, second and third positions corresponding to modulations of first, second and third monochromatic lights, respectively. When the movable electrode is at a certain position, the incident light corresponding to the position may be divided into two parts, one is reflected by the top electrode, and the other one may bypass the top electrode and be reflected by the movable electrode. The two parts may interfere destructively. The light modulator pixel unit of the present invention can control monochromatic lights of three special wavelengths by time division, and enable color control and gray control.
