Abstract

An array of reflective LCSLM pixels formed on a substrate with a light polarizing layer positioned in overlying relationship to the array. A light source mounted in an optically clear support positioned in overlying relationship to and spaced from the array, so that light evenly illuminates the array through the support and allows passage of reflected light from the array back through the support. Electrical connections are made from the array, through leads in the support and to external contacts. A diffuser mounted in overlying and spaced relationship to the support to form an image plane for reflected light from the array.
