The light valve was originally developed at [[Stanford University]], in California, by electrical engineering professor David M. Bloom, along with Raj Apte, Francisco Sandejas, and Olav Solgaard. In 1994, the start-up company [[Silicon Light Machines]] was founded by Bloom to develop and commercialize the technology. The company is now wholly owned by Dainippon Screen Manufacturing Co., Ltd. <ref>[http://www.screen.co.jp/press/NR080702E.pdf Dainippon Screen Mfg. Co., Ltd.]</ref>
In July 2000, [[Sony]] announced the signing of a technology licensing agreement with Silicon Light<ref>[http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/News/Press_Archive/200206/02-023E/ Sony Develops a [Grating Light Valve] display device that gives high resolution, excellent contrast ratio and wide color reproduction]</ref> <ref>[http://meko.co.uk/glv.shtml]</ref> for the implementation of GLV technology in laser projectors for large venues, but by 2004 Sony announced the SRX-R110 front projector using its own LCoS-based technology [[SXRD]].
GLV then partnered with [[Evans & Sutherland]]. Using GLV technology, E&S developed the E&S Laser Projector, designed for use in domes and planetariums.<ref>[http://www.es.com/products/digital_theater/digistar3-laser.asp Digistar 3 Laser]</ref> The E&S Laser Projector was incorporated into the [[Digistar 3|Digistar 3 Laser]].
