Active matrix reflective image plane module and projection system

A projector system, comprising:

• a source of light;
• means for forming separate blue, green and red light components from said source of light;
• separate reflective imaging means for each said light component, each reflective imaging means including a wafer based active matrix for forming a reflected component light beam and for imparting information onto said reflected component light beam;
• means for directing each of said light components to a first respective image plane and forming a first image at said image plane and means for reflecting said light component to its respective reflective imaging means;
• means for directing each reflected light component and forming a second image at a second image plane adjacent said first image plane;
• and
• at least one means for projecting each of said reflected component light beams for viewing.

A reflective image plane module, comprising:

• means for directing light directed thereto and forming a first image at a first image plane;
• means for reflecting said light from said first image plane to at least one reflective imaging means including a wafer based active matrix for forming a reflected light beam and for imparting information onto said reflecting light beam and means for directing said reflected light beam and forming a second image at a second image plane adjacent said first image plane;
• and
• said reflective imaging means include a convex lens system for directing said light to said wafer based active matrix and said reflected light beam directing means include said convex lens system.
