The present invention relates to an outer dome configured to provide protection and optical correction to a system of projection optics and the output thereof. More particularly, an optical projection system having an optical offset of greater than 100% is comprised within a projector housing having an outer dome comprised of an optically active material mounted onto an opening approximately coinciding with the optical projection system's exit pupil. The outer dome is configured to be decenterized from the exit pupil (e.g., the center of the dome is offset from the exit pupil in one or more of an x, y, and z direction) such that it provides optical correction to a projected image. Therefore, an outer dome is configured to provide protection to optical elements provided therein and improvement of projected image quality (e.g., reduced image distortion, reduced aberration).

A method of processing light includes receiving an image to be displayed. The image has a brightness level. The method further includes generating light from a light source and intensity-modulating the generated light to produce light having a first intensity. The first intensity is a function of the brightness level. The method also includes spatially integrating the intensity-modulated light.

A double sided electrical connection flexible circuit particularly useful as a substrate for an area array integrated package, and the method of fabricating the structure is described. A circuit having interconnections on one surface and solder ball contact pads on the second surface are interconnected by copper plated from a single surface in order to avoid entrapment of air pockets. In one embodiment, the conductive vias are formed from a copper film which extends from the solder ball contact pads, which may be indented, providing a well for solder balls in the contact pad.
