Abstract
An imaging system 10 includes an image source providing an image having a resolution of X by Y pixels. The system also includes a digital mirror device 16 that includes an array of mirror elements. Each mirror element includes an edge that is not parallel to an edge of a neighboring mirror element. The array 16 includes fewer than X*Y mirror elements.
Claims15
An imaging system comprising:
- an image source providing an image having a resolution of X by Y pixels where X and Y are integers;
