ABSTRACT:
A deformable mirror light valve comprised of an array of silicon nitride ribbons, metalized to reflect light. Each ribbon is electrostatically deformed to form a cylindrical mirror. Each deformable ribbon modulates the light of one pixel by focusing the reflected light through a slit. An alternative embodiment focuses the light onto a stop. The ribbon structure has a fast response time combined with high contrast.
