Abstract
A method and structure for a display system having multiple spatial light modulators (SLMs) (16), each of which contributes an image of one color that is perceived by the viewer as a combined image. The SLMs (16) have more rows and columns of pixel elements (42) than rows or columns of pixel data to be displayed. A window of "active" pixel elements (42) can be shifted up and down or right and left by selecting which pixel elements (42) are to receive data. The addressing circuit (31, 31a, 35, 35a) of each SLM 16 can be controlled so as to accomplish this shifting.
