1. A video projector apparatus, comprising: a linear array of individually addressable reflective active elements having a variable deflection; an optical system including a light source and providing a linear light pattern focused on said linear array and from which is created an image of the linear array with pixel intensities being a function of said deflection; an optical scanning system for receiving the image of the linear array including a scanning member that successively scans said array to provide a two-dimensional image; and a projection system receiving said two-dimensional image and including a screen upon which the two-dimensional image is displayed.
