Compact display engine with arrayed illumination source

A display engine, comprising:

• an arrayed light source panel including a light source array that includes a plurality of individually addressable light sources, each light source being configured to emit a first light beam associated with a first wavelength band;
• a beam reshaping module including a plurality of beam reshaping elements, each beam reshaping element being configured to reshape a first beam profile of the first light beam and output a second light beam with a second beam profile;
• a transmissive display driver panel including a display driver module integrated with a pixelated color conversion module, the pixelated color conversion module including a plurality of color conversion units configured to at least partially convert the second light beam associated with the first wavelength band into a third light beam associated with a second wavelength band;
• and
• an active light modulation medium configured to be controllable by the transmissive display driver panel, and configured to modulate the third light beam received from the transmissive display driver panel for displaying an image.
