Abstract:
1. A method for driving an array of micromirrors of a spatial light modulator used in a display system, wherein the spatial light modulator comprises an array of micromirrors, each of which being associated with an electrode of an array of electrodes, each electrode being connected a memory cell of an array of memory cells, the method comprising: connecting the memory cells to a first and second sets of wordlines such that, for a row of the memory cell array, the memory cells of the row are separately connected to at least a wordline from the first set and another wordline from the second set; connecting the each memory cells of a column to a bitline; upon receiving a display control signal and a set of data, generating a wordline control signal having a first value and a second value; activating the wordlines from the first set; delivering the data to the memory cells connected to the activated wordlines; deactivating the wordlines from the first set; activating wordlines from the second set; and delivering the data to the memory cells connected to the activated wordlines.
