ABSTRACT:
In a method for increasing the native resolution of a spatial light modulator, the light-modulating elements of the spatial light modulator are illuminated with spots of light that are smaller in size than the light-modulating elements. The spots of light are moved to different positions with respect to the light-modulating elements as different data are displayed. The light-modulating elements thus do double-duty (or triple-duty, or quadruple-duty, or more) as the spots of light are moved to different positions.
