Mirror device for projection system having plurality of tiltable mirrors tilted

1. A mirror device for a projection system corresponding to one of a pixel and a sub-pixel of image data to be projected by the projection system and comprising:

a plurality of tiltable mirrors cooperatively tilted based on the one of the pixel and the sub-pixel of the image data to reflect light projected incident thereto in accordance with the one of the pixel and the sub-pixel of the image data,

wherein a number of the tiltable mirrors less than all of the tiltable mirrors are tilted based on the one of the pixel and the sub-pixel of the image data.

2. The mirror device of claim 1 , wherein the tiltable mirrors are non-independently tilted based on the one of the pixel and the sub-pixel.

3. The mirror device of claim 1 , wherein the tilt able mirrors tilt in unison such that: the tiltable mirrors tilt in unison in a same direction, the tiltable mirrors tilt in unison at a same tilting angle, and/or the tiltable mirrors tilt in unison at a same time.

4. The mirror device of claim 1 , wherein adjacent of the plurality of tiltable mirrors are separated by a spacing less than one half of a wavelength of the light projected incident thereto.

5. The mirror device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of tiltable mirrors are organized in a rectangular grid having M rows and N columns.

6. The mirror device of claim 5 , wherein M equals N.

7. The mirror device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of tiltable mirrors have a size in total substantially equal to an area associated with the one of the pixel and the sub-pixel.

8. The mirror device of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of tiltable mirrors are tilted at a frequency greater than a tilting frequency of a single mirror having a size substantially equal to the area associated with the one of the pixel and the sub-pixel.

9. The mirror device of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of tiltable mirrors are tilted at an angle greater than a tilting angle of a single mirror having a size substantially equal to the area associated with the one of the pixel and the sub-pixel.

10. The mirror device of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of tiltable mirrors achieve contrast greater than contrast achieved by a single mirror having a size substantially equal to the area associated with the one of the pixel and the sub-pixel.

11. A method comprising:

projecting light onto a plurality of tiltable mirrors corresponding to one of a pixel and a sub-pixel of image data; and,

cooperatively tilting the plurality of tiltable mirrors based on the one of the pixel and the sub-pixel of the image data,

such that the one of the pixel and the sub-pixel of the image data is rendered for viewing,

wherein the plurality of tiltable mirrors has a size substantially equal to an area associated with one of the pixel and the sub-pixel, such that tilting the plurality of tiltable mirrors comprises tilting the plurality of tiltable mirrors at a frequency greater than a tilting frequency of a single mirror having a size substantially equal to the area associated with the one of the pixel and the sub-pixel.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the method is repeated for each of a plurality of other mirror devices, each other mirror device having a plurality of tiltable mirrors corresponding to one of a different pixel and a different sub-pixel of the image data.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the light is projected onto the plurality of tiltable mirrors at a wavelength at least twice as great as a spacing between adjacent of the tiltable mirrors.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein tilting the plurality of tiltable mirrors comprises driving the plurality of tiltable mirrors to cause the plurality of tiltable mirrors to tilt.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein driving the plurality of tiltable mirrors comprises directly electronically driving the plurality of tiltable mirrors.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein driving the plurality of tiltable mirrors comprises scanning the plurality of tiltable mirrors with a beam.
