1. An optical projection system comprising:
- at least one light source;
at least a first spatial tight modulator producing at least a first image;
a first polarizing beam splitter between the at least one light source and the at least one first spatial light modulator;
at least a second spatial light modulator producing at least a second image;
a second polarizing beam splitter between the at least one light source and the at least one second spatial light modulator;
a combining polarizing beam splitter for combining the first image and the second image by superimposition to create a composite first image, wherein the first image is transmitted by the first polarizing beam splitter and reflected by the combining polarizing beam splitter and the second image is reflected by the second polarizing beam splitter and transmitted by the combining polarizing beam splitter.

Abstract
Apparatus and techniques for enhancing characteristics of electronic projection systems are detailed. Included among the techniques are both superimposition of sub-images and tiling of superimposed images, the combination of which can be advantageous in improving resolution of projected images. Pre-modulators and polarizing beam splitters also may be used as parts of the innovative systems.
