A six-axis attachment mechanism for aligning a spatial light modulator ( ) within a display system. An attachment plate ( ) has one or more pins ( ) extending therefrom. A socket plate ( ) onto which a spatial light modulator ( ) is attached slides over the pins ( ). The modulator is then positioned to optically align it with the remainder of the display system. As the modulator is held in alignment, a washer ( ) is slid onto the pin ( ) and is bonded to both the pin ( ) and to the socket plate ( ). Washers ( ) are typically transparent to enable the use of an optically cured adhesive. Glass washers ( ) allow ultraviolet radiation to reach the adhesive through the glass washer ( ).
