Patent ID: 7271790

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) system implemented with a thermal control and management system comprising: a temperature sensor system disposed directly on a backplane of a silicon die of a LCD microdisplay device immediately next to a liquid crystal material for directly measuring a temperature of said microdisplay device and generating a temperature measurement signal; a microdisplay controller for controlling voltages of said microdisplay device and receiving said temperature signal for transmitting a digital signal to a system processor; and said system processor having a color-specific-thermal-effect voltage database for receiving and processing said temperature measurement signal by employing said color-specific thermal-effect voltage database to generate color specific temperature-dependent reference voltages to apply as switchable DC-balancing reference voltages to a common electrode connected to a plurality of pixel cells for operating said microdisplay system by accounting for a thermal-effect of color balance whereby said color specific temperature dependent reference voltages are most suitable for said temperature measurement signal and also for said DC-balancing reference voltages.
