An off-axis projection system includes a polarizer, a reflective light modulator, an analyzer, and an aberration compensation element. The polarizer polarizes an illumination beam to form a polarized illumination beam. The reflective light modulator receives the polarized illumination beam along a first optical path, modulates the polarized illumination beam to form an imaging beam, and reflects the imaging beam along a second optical path not parallel to the first optical path. The aberration compensation element is disposed in either or both of the polarized illumination beam and the imaging beam. The separation of the illumination beam and the imaging beam provided by the off-axis architecture facilitates the use single-pass aberration compensation elements, including liquid crystal compensation films and wave retarders. A multi-color projection system is also disclosed.
