Abstract

The invention relates to a color display device comprising a chromatic dispersive grating and an active matrix possibly of liquid crystal type. This device moreover comprises a matrix of spherical microlenses, the shape of the cross section of the microlenses being such that it makes it possible to compensate for the spreading of the R G B colored beams by virtue of the use of a dispersive grating, and hence to make best use of the circular aperture of projection objectives.
