Abstract
An apparatus for printing images including an illumination optics ( ) that provides uniform area light is disclosed. A polarizing beamsplitter ( ) receives the uniform area light and redirects a first polarization state of the light to a first reflective LCD modulator ( ) which modulates the first polarized light on a site by site basis and reflects the first modulator light through the polarizing beamsplitter ( ). A parallel plate tilted at a first angle spatially displaces the first modulated light along a first line normal to the polarizing beamsplitter ( ). A print lens assembly ( ) images the first modulated light to a first position on a media plane to print a first image. The parallel plate is moved to a second position ( ) and a new image is printed.
