System and method for increased spatial resolution

A projection system comprising

• one or more light sources;
• a spatial light modulator for modulating light received from the plurality of light sources to generate a plurality of sub-images of a composite image;
• and
• a plurality fixed mirrors for reflecting each of the plurality of sub-images at a portion of a projection surface.

A projection system comprising

• an image forming device for generating sub-images of a composite image;
• a plurality of laser arrays, each laser array having a set of lasers stored therein and directed toward the image forming device;
• and
• a plurality of fixed mirrors, wherein each of the fixed mirrors in the plurality of fixed mirrors is configured to direct light from one laser array in the plurality of laser arrays toward a sub-image region in a projection surface.

A projection system comprising

• a plurality of light sources that when activated generate a first beam of light and a second beam of light;
• an image forming device in optical communication with the light source, wherein the image forming device sequentially modulates the first beam of light to form a first sub-image forming a first part of a projection image and modulates the second beam of light to form a second sub-image forming a second part of the projection image;
• and
• a focusing array in optical communication with the image forming device, wherein the focusing array focuses the first sub-image and the second sub-image.

A method for projecting an image comprising

• configuring a spatial light modulator to selectively modulate a first portion of a complete image;
• activating a light source to emit a first light beam;
• selectively modulating the first light beam off of the spatial light modulator;
• projecting the first portion of the complete image on a projection surface;
• configuring the spatial light modulator to selectively modulate a second portion of the complete image;
• activating a the light source to emit a second light beam;
• selectively modulating the second light beam off of the spatial light modulator;
• and
• projecting the second portion of the complete image on the projection surface.
