11. A projector, comprising:
-
means for concurrently directing incoming first and second beams of light, respectively of different wavelengths, onto a modulator respectively at first and second angles of incidence; and
means for selecting a gap size between total and partial reflectors of the modulator to produce substantially the same reflective or absorptive state for the first and second beams. - View Dependent Claims (12)

13. A projector, comprising:
-
a light source configured to direct first and second beams of light, respectively at different wavelengths, onto a modulator at respectively first and second angles of incidence the modulator comprising;
a partial reflector;
a total reflector; and
a selectively adjustable gap interposed between the partial and total reflectors;
wherein the first and second angles of incidence are selected so that a selected first size of the gap produces substantially the same reflective state for the first and second beams and a selected second size of the gap produces substantially the same absorptive state for the first and second beams. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
