Control instructions are transmitted to receivers by modulating light sources to generate light beams that are modulated with digital data streams for inducing control instructions in the light beams. Each light beam is applied to a pixel shaper element of a pixel shaper assembly to produce a light pixel, each light pixel carrying the control instructions of the light beam, each light pixel having a perimeter defined by the pixel shaper element. The pixel shaper assembly combines the light pixels into an image without significant overlap or voids between the light pixels emitted by the pixel shaper assembly. The light pixels are directed toward a projector lens for transmission toward the receivers. In a receiver, an optical receiver detects a light pixel. A controller decodes the control instructions received in the detected light pixel and uses the control instructions to control a function of the receiver.

A light-modulating device includes optical microstructures, each including a topmost layer, a bottommost layer, and in-between layers. The topmost layer extends in a first predetermined axis. The bottommost layer extends in a last predetermined axis which turns about a center axis such that an incident light beam passing through the topmost layer in an incident route is modulated to permit the light beam emitting from the bottommost layer to impinge upon a solar concentrator disposed below the light-modulating device along an impinging route different from the incident route. The in-between layers are sequentially turned about the center axis by an incremental degree toward the last predetermined axis.
