A issue I see here is the pattern structure of DMDs. Between all the
small mirrors are always even smaller gaps.

If we like to draw a bar, eg. poly or whatever
(ASCII-Art)

the mirrors are with a gap instead

           ???

This means that it becomes difficult to "stitch" two mirrors gap-less.
For human eyes it does not matter, the eyes does not see the pixel /
pattern structure. But I guess, the photo resist will see 'em - so we
have to tricked them out somehow.

Can we use here diffraction?
Or we already need double-pattering here?

Regards,
Hagen.
