  • Abstract
    The host of technologies tussling to displace the CRT have yet to face one strong contender: the grating light valve (GLV). This paper describes the construction and operation of GLVs which are MEMS technology electrostatically operated ribbon-shaped mirrors. Their main application, also outlined in this paper, is in large sized, high quality laser projection displays.
