Patent ID: 8059142

Claim:
A digital display, comprising: an array of pixels arranged in rows and columns, each pixel having a selectable optical state; and a plurality of pixel circuits, each pixel circuit associated with a pixel of the array of pixels, each pixel circuit including: image data registers, the image data registers storing digital image data; a logic circuit coupled to the image data registers, the logic circuit operable to select and read the digital image data from the image data registers and generate an output signal based on the digital image data and a digital logic signal; and a pixel driver circuit that receives the output signal of the logic circuit and determines the optical state of the associated pixel based at least in part on the output signal; wherein output nodes of the image data registers are coupled to a central node in the logic circuit through select switches, and wherein a plurality of the image data registers are selected in parallel, the output signal being dependent on a result of a function of digital image data of the plurality of selected image data registers and the digital logic signal.
