1. A high-brightness micromirror projection display comprising:
- a light source for providing a beam of light along a light path;
a first condenser lens on said light path for receiving said beam of light;
a total internal reflective prism receiving said beam of light;
a color-splitting prism assembly receiving said beam of light from said total internal reflective prism;
three micromirrors mounted in a low-cost molded plastic packages with built-in printed circuit board bases and windows for selectively modulating said filtered beam of light; and
a projection lens for receiving said modulated beam of light and focusing said modulated beam of light on an image plane.

Abstract
A low-cost, high-performance, reliable micromirror package (300) that replaces the ceramic substrate in conventional packages with a printed circuit board substrate (30) and a molded plastic case (33), and the cover glass with a window (36), preferably an optically clear plastic window. The printed circuit board substrate (30) allows for either external bond pads or flex cable connection of the micromirror package to the projector'"'"'s motherboard. These packages support flexible snap-in, screw-in, ultrasonic plastic welding, or adhesive welding processes to overcome the high cost seam welding process of many conventional packages.
