Improvement of speckling noise is discussed in which a central light beam received at a double-sided mirror is divided into a plurality of sub-beams. An intensity of these sub-beams decays from a second sub-beam to a last sub-beam of the plurality. Each sub-beam is also separated at the double-sided mirror by at least a first length, such as the coherence length or intrinsic divergence, and reflected toward a display screen. The configuration of the double-sided mirror focuses the sub-beams to converge with a first sub-beam on the display screen at different angles. The decreasing intensity and different angles of impact with the screen decreases the spatial coherence of the display light. The angle diversity and combination of multiple sub-beams having different intensities offers a non-time-averaging means to decrease speckle noise without downgrading the beam quality or display resolution.
