Abstract
Micro-electromechanical light modulators are combined with anamorphic and contrast enhancing optical elements to form optical display engines. Linear MEMS arrays are suitable for the étendue of low divergence light sources while handling high optical power for brightness. The output of an optical engine is a line image which may be scanned to form a two-dimensional image.
