Abstract:
A method of display high bit-depth resolution images on a spatial light modulator, comprising the steps of:a. determining a number of bits of resolution to be displayed;b. establishing a number of bit planes to be loaded in each frame for each color;c. reserving a predetermined number of least significant bits (LSBs) of the number of bit planes to achieve the number of bits of resolution to be displayed;d. defining reference numbers to provide fractional bits;e. developing a set of spatial patterns to be used with each of said predetermined number of LSBs for each said fractional bits;f. selecting one of either random spatial placement of the patterns or predetermined placement of the patterns to display said patterns at the start of each frame; andg. determining one of said patterns for each pixel according to said pixel's intensity.
