Abstract
An apparatus for printing images including an illumination optics ( ) that provides uniform area light is disclosed. A prism ( ) is located at a first position and receives the uniform area light and refracts the light. A first reflective LCD modulator ( ) modulates the refracted light on a site by site basis and reflects the first modulated light to a second position on a media plane. A motor ( ) rotates the prism ( ) around an axis parallel to the illumination optics to a third position. A second reflective LCD modulator ( ) modulates the refracted light on a site by site basis and reflects the second modulated light to a fourth position on the media plane.
