A projection system for projecting one or more images onto a projection surface comprising: a light source that when activated generates a beam of light; an image forming device in optical communication with the light source, wherein the image forming device is configured to sequentially convert the beam of light into a first sub-image forming a first part of a projection image and a second sub-image forming a second part of the projection image; and an optical system in optical communication with the image forming device, wherein: the optical system is configured to direct the first sub-image toward a first sub-image region of a projection surface and is configured to direct the second sub-image toward the second sub-image region, adjacent to the first sub-image region of the projection surface; the first sub-image and the second sub-image are directed to the projection surface at different times; the first sub-image and the second sub-image overlap by up to one percent of a spatial resolution of the image forming device; and overlapping portions of each of the first sub-image and the second sub-image have reduced brightness relative to non-overlapping portions such that the overlapping portions have a combined brightness equal to that of non-overlapping portions. a light source that when activated generates a beam of light; an image forming device in optical communication with the light source, wherein the image forming device is configured to sequentially convert the beam of light into a first sub-image forming a first part of a projection image and a second sub-image forming a second part of the projection image; and an optical system in optical communication with the image forming device, wherein: the optical system is configured to direct the first sub-image toward a first sub-image region of a projection surface and is configured to direct the second sub-image toward the second sub-image region, adjacent to the first sub-image region of the projection surface; the first sub-image and the second sub-image are directed to the projection surface at different times; the first sub-image and the second sub-image overlap by up to one percent of a spatial resolution of the image forming device; and overlapping portions of each of the first sub-image and the second sub-image have reduced brightness relative to non-overlapping portions such that the overlapping portions have a combined brightness equal to that of non-overlapping portions. the optical system is configured to direct the first sub-image toward a first sub-image region of a projection surface and is configured to direct the second sub-image toward the second sub-image region, adjacent to the first sub-image region of the projection surface; the first sub-image and the second sub-image are directed to the projection surface at different times; the first sub-image and the second sub-image overlap by up to one percent of a spatial resolution of the image forming device; and overlapping portions of each of the first sub-image and the second sub-image have reduced brightness relative to non-overlapping portions such that the overlapping portions have a combined brightness equal to that of non-overlapping portions.
