1. An image projection system for presenting an image to a viewer, comprising:
- a radiation source configured to generate radiation comprising multiple optical characteristics, wherein a first optical characteristic varies along a first direction of the radiation source and a second optical characteristic varies along a second direction of the radiation source; and
multiple independently movable mirrors configured to reflect radiation from the radiation source to the viewer.

Abstract
An image projection system for presenting an image to a viewer comprises an electromagnetic radiation source configured to generate radiation having multiple spectral characteristics, and multiple independently operable optical switches configured to selectively transmit, reflect, and/or block radiation from the radiation source to the viewer. The viewed image is made up of pixels defined by the selective operation of the optical switches with the radiation source.

9. An image projection system for presenting an image to a viewer, comprising:
-
a radiation source configured to generate radiation having a first spectral distribution and a first intensity at a first location on the radiation source and having a second spectral distribution and a second intensity at a second location on the radiation source; multiple independently movable mirrors reflecting radiation from the radiation source to the viewer, wherein each mirror reflects radiation from the first location to the viewer when the mirror is in a first position and reflects radiation from the second location to the viewer when the mirror is in a second position; and a control system connected to the mirrors and configured to independently move each mirror between the first position and the second position. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
