As a widely used display device, the effective display area of a digital micromirror device (DMD) is limited by its micromirror count and pitch, which cannot meet large-format target-plane display requirements. This paper proposes a large-format scene simulation system based on multi-DMD optical stitching, and uses an optical relay to overcome the inability to directly tile DMDs because of their package frames. By constructing a DMD display architecture comprising an illumination module, a relay module, a stitching module, and a projection module, the system quadruples the effective display area relative to a single DMD without sacrificing frame rate. Design results show that the system achieves an MTF greater than 0.5 at 50 lp/mm, with near-diffraction-limited performance; the RMS spot radius is less than 10 μm. All key indicators meet application requirements.
