We have developed the direct-drive image light amplifier (D- ILA), a reflective mode liquid crystal device for multimedia projection systems. Utilizing a single crystal silicon based reflective LCD with a homeotropic liquid crystal alignment, the D-ILA device produces bright, high resolution and high- contrast images from a small diagonal display area.
