1. An image projection system, comprising:

  • a light source for providing light;

    illumination optics for re-directing the light from the light source;

    a spatial light modulator including two rows of modulation devices formed to be offset from each other, each of the modulation devices modulating light re-directed from the illumination optics;

    a frame scanner for scanning the modulated light from the spatial light modulator onto a screen to thereby generate a two-dimensional image corresponding to a single frame on the screen; and

    projection optics for projecting and focusing the modulated light transmitted from the frame scanner onto the screen,wherein a first plurality of pixels in a first row on the screen are illuminated by light modulated by a first row of modulation devices among the two rows of modulation devices, and a second plurality of pixels in the first row on the screen are illuminated by light modulated by a second row of modulation devices among the two rows of modulation devices.
