We have developed a practical color filter liquid-crystalon-silicon
CF-LCOS microdisplay that integrated color filters
on silicon for color.1,2 The projection or viewing optics
of this breed of microdisplays is greatly simplified since
color is already available. What it needs is just a polarizing
beam splitter PBS to direct a polarized light into the display
and back to a projection lens or eyepiece. In this paper,
we present optical modeling and optimizations of the CFLCOS
microdisplays.
