The device structure of our grating electromechanical system (GEMS) linear array modulator enables unique optical architectures for line‐scanned laser displays. We describe the optical system of our three‐chip, front‐projection GEMS prototype and a design for a high‐performance, trilinear system that combines the simplicity of a single‐chip system with the optical efficiency and image quality of a three‐chip system.
