Abstract
The trend of research and development of liquid crystal light valve color projection system is presented, firstly. Then, the two types of projection systems developed in our laboratory are given. One of the systems is based on a high-brightness, high-resolution, electrically addressed, reflectively reading CRT-LCLV spatial light modulators (SLMs). The other employs three transmitting-readout si-TFT-LCLVs. The design features of the two types of the projection systems are demonstrated and the performance of the systems are given.
