1. A display for producing a substantially seamless combined image on a screen from at least first and second images, comprising:
- at least first and second projectors for projecting corresponding first and second images separately onto a screen, said projectors projecting said first and second images such that a portion of said first image overlaps a portion of said second image so as to define at least one seam region on said screen;
an image processor coupled to said first and second projectors for adjusting brightness of said first and second image portions such that said seam is substantially not visible to a viewer.

Abstract
The present invention provides method for producing a substantially seamless video image on a display surface. The method comprises the steps of separately projecting at least a first and a second video image onto a display surface such that a seam is defined by overlapping portions of said first and second video images. Inside the seam, the brightness of the first video image and the brightness of the second video image are adjusted electronically so as to provide a uniform brightness profile.
