A mirror device of one embodiment of the invention is for a projection system corresponding to one of a pixel and a sub-pixel of image data to be projected by the projection system. The mirror device comprises a plurality of tiltable mirrors. The mirrors are cooperatively tilted based on the one of the pixel and the sub-pixel of the image data, to reflect light projected incident thereto in accordance with the one of the pixel and the sub-pixel of the image data.

An apparatus includes micro-electromechanical (MEM) devices, a charge source, and a discharge mechanism. Each MEM device has different states based on a charged induced thereon. The charge source is to induce the charge thereon such that the MEM devices each enter one of the different states thereof. The discharge mechanism for the MEM devices is to discharge the induced thereon. The discharge mechanism includes one of a resistor for each MEM device and an ultraviolet (UV) light source. The resistor is to discharge the charge on its MEM device to ground. The UV light source is to emit photons onto the MEM devices, such that the photons discharge the charge on the MEM devices via photoelectric effect.

A display system includes a housing having at least one optical window and at least one charge-controlled spatial light-modulator disposed within the housing. The at least one spatial light-modulator is configured to project an image-bearing light beam to a viewing surface through the at least one optical window. The system further includes at least one electron gun selectively positioned at a predetermined angle with respect to the at least one spatial light-modulator. The electron gun is configured to project an electron beam into the housing to impinge a front surface of the at least one spatial light-modulator.
