Patent ID: 7486305

Claim:
A method for activating pixels to display the pixels in variable resolutions, the method comprising: in a first independent mode of resolution, instructing a first pixel cell to relay activation instructions to a second pixel cell, instructing the first pixel cell to activate, relay wherein the instruction to activate the first pixel cell activates the first and second pixel cells to display a first pixel having both the first and second pixel cells; and in a second independent mode of resolution, separately instructing the first pixel cell to activate, wherein the separate instruction to activate the first pixel cell activates the first pixel cell to display a second pixel having the first pixel cell, wherein the second pixel does not contain the second pixel cell; and in a third independent mode of resolution, separately instructing the second pixel cell to activate, wherein the separate instruction to activate the second pixel cell activates the second pixel cell to independently display a third pixel having the second pixel cell, wherein the third pixel cell does not contain the first pixel cell.
