A means of creating images, or other whole wavefronts, from composing segments of this whole. The purpose is to allow many, less capable segment generators to be used in place of a single, more capable one. Applications can be found in the design of video projection systems, film projection systems, and photographic enlarging systems. The invention consists of a single focusing means (20), one or more reflective means (24), and a plurality of generators (90 and 92). Representative designs are shown with the following characteristics: "One-dimensional" tessellation using simple mirrors. "Two-dimensional" tessellation using glass with mirrored sections. Extensibility to support an arbitrary number of composing segments. generating elements placed together on the same plane. Easy and inexpensive manufacture. Easy alignment.
