摘要: A micro-mechanical spatial light modulator for modulating a polarization state of an incident beam (20) comprises a plurality of rotatable elements. Each of the rotatable elements (170) comprises a plurality of structures (300). The structures are spaced apart at sub-wavelength distances relative to the wavelength of the incident beam (20). Each of the plurality of structures (300) exhibits an interaction with the polarization state of the incident beam. An actuator is coupled to each of the rotatable elements. The actuator is capable of controllably positioning the rotatable element to any two positions, and each of the positions has a corresponding polarization state. A substrate (110) supports each plurality of rotatable elements and houses each actuator.

摘要: A laser printer utilizes a total internal reflection spatial light modulator that is optimized to work with a partially coherent laser source. The laser source is a laser diode array having a plurality of multi-mode emitters. The spatial light modulator diffracts light from said laser source according to an applied electric field. A spatial filter having a slit passes designated diffracted light which corresponds to an applied electric field and the light is ultimately imaged onto an image plane by way of an imaging lens.

摘要: A projection display apparatus (10) uses a modulation optical system (200) that includes a liquid crystal device (210) in combination with a wire grid polarization beamsplitter (240), a wire grid polarization analyzer (270) and a projection lens (285) to form an image. In order to achieve high contrast and maintain high brightness levels, a compensator (260) is provided for minimizing leakage light for pixels in the black (OFF) state. A number of configurations are possible, such as with the compensator (260) disposed in the optical path between the liquid crystal device (210) and the wire grid polarization beamsplitter (240) and with a secondary compensator (265) disposed between wire grid polarization analyzer (270) and the wire grid polarization beamsplitter (240).
