ABSTRACT:
An improved SLM that is capable of detecting when light incident on the SLM exceeds a predetermined threshold. A diode is fabricated around, or within the pixel array. Light incident on the array (and the diode) results in a current increase through the diode, which may detected and used to initiate a disable signal to control circuitry of the SLM.
