摘要

A packaged micromirror array for a projection display according to the application comprises an array of micromirrors that are capable of movement between an OFF state and an ON state by pulse width modulation to achieve a gray scale image on a target and wherein each micromirror corresponds to a pixel in a viewed image on the target; and a package having a light transmissive window. The array of micromirrors is disposed in the package having the light transmissive window. A viewed image, formed on the target by light reflected from the micromirrors and passed through said mask, has four sides and viewed pixels within the image formed by said micromirrors each have four sides which are not parallel to any sides of the viewed image.
