To build a display system using the GLV device different approaches can be followed: ranging from a simple approach using a single GLV device with a white light as a source thus having a [[monochrome]] system to a more complex solution using three different GLV devices each for one of the RGB primaries' sources that once diffracted require different optical filters to point the light onto the screen or an intermediate using a single white source with a GLV device.

Besides, the light can be diffracted by the GLV device into an eyepiece for [[virtual retinal display]], or into an optical system for image projection onto a screen ([[Video projector|projector]] and [[Rear-projection television|rear-projector]]).<ref>Teklas S.
