Patent ID: 6980197

Claim:
A method of producing an image using a display system having a spatial light modulator that comprises an array of micromirrors that are individually movable, the method comprising: initializing, by a control unit of an integrated driver, the display system, further comprising: sending a set of initializing data to a first bus of the control unit; transmitting the initializing data to a second bus of a data processing unit of the integrated driver through a bridge that links the first and second buses; loading a sequence of image data of the image into the data processing unit; transforming the image data into a sequence of bitplane data; delivering a set of display data comprising a set of display control signals and the bitplane data into a display control unit of the spatial light modulator; in accordance with the display control signals, the display control unit sending the bitplane data to an array of memory cells, each of which is associate with a micromirror for deforming the micromirrors so as to produce the image.
