Patent ID: 7154508

Claim:
A display system for producing a color image from image data, the color image having pixels, the display system comprising: a sub-frame generation module configured to generate, from the image data, color image bit-planes, each color image bit-plane representing a time increment for displaying one color of a plurality of colors for each pixel of the color image, the smallest time increment for each color represented by a least significant color image bit-plane, the color image bit-planes defining image sub-frames with, for at least one of the colors, at least the least significant color image bit-plane unequally distributed between the image sub-frames; a spatial light modulator configured to modulate light beams to generate each of the image sub-frames; a color light source configured to generate light beams in each of the plurality of colors, the color light source disposed to pass the light beams across the spatial light modulator; and a periodic wobbling device configured to provide a relative displacement to the image sub-frames for displaying, in a plurality of spatially different image sub-frame locations, the image sub-frames.
