1. A modular video projector system comprising:
- a light engine module comprising at least one light source; and
an optical engine module housed in a separate packaging than the light engine module,wherein the optical engine module is configured to;
receive video data provided by video processing electronics;
receive light provided by the light engine module;
modulate the light provided by the light engine module based on the video data provided by the video processing electronics;
reduce a size of received pixels;
move reduced size pixels within a bounded output pixel to at least 2 locations, wherein the reduced size pixels are moved to the at least 2 locations at a rate that is at least 2 times faster than the frame rate of the source video; and
project the modulated light.

Abstract
Some embodiments provide for a modular video projector system having a light engine module and an optical engine module. The light engine module can provide narrow-band laser light to the optical engine module which modulates the laser light according to video signals received from a video processing engine. Some embodiments provide for an optical engine module having a sub-pixel generator configured to display video or images at a resolution of at least four times greater than a resolution of modulating elements within the optical engine module. Systems and methods for reducing speckle are presented in conjunction with the modular video projector system.
