An active matrix reflective projection system

Abstract

Abstract An active matrix reflective projection system (80, 120, 142, 156, 158, 164) utilizing a conventional wafer includes a reflective image plan module (30, 52, 66, 70, 76, 78). The module includes light directing and reflecting structures (40, 42, 44, 48, 56, 58, 64, 74) and a wafer based active matrix (46) mated thereto. A source of light (32, 68, 72) is directed to the module wherein the wafer based active matrix imparts information onto a light beam reflected therefrom. The module projects the reflected beam for viewing, such as through one or more lens (50). The reflective image plane module includes a prism or mirror which passes the light or light component through a first surface to the wafer based active matrix mated to a second surface and which projects the reflected light from the first surface to be viewed.
