An image projecting device and method are presented. The device comprises a light source system operable to produce a light beam to impinge onto an active surface of a spatial light modulator (SLM) unit formed by an SLM pixel arrangement; and a magnification optics accommodated at the output side of the SLM unit. The light beam impinging onto the SLM pixel arrangement has a predetermined cross section corresponding to the size of said active surface. The SLM unit comprises first and second lens' arrays at opposite sides of the pixel arrangement, such that each lens in the first array and a respective opposite lens in the second array are associated with a corresponding one of the SLM pixels
