  • Apparatus and associated methods for dynamic sequential display update
    Patent number: 9111497
    Abstract: A controller and method have been described for use in conjunction with a sequential display system including a display having a plurality of pixels. A series of update cycles is performed on the display to establish the grayscale value of each pixel for viewing on the display based on the pixel values for a video frame by selectively switching each pixel responsive to the update cycles such that a total number of the update cycles is less than the total number of pixel values of the frame. Statistical characterization of frame data can be the basis of the reduction of the number of update cycles.

  • APPARATUS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS FOR REDUCED BIT LINE SWITCHING ACTIVITY IN PIXEL DRIVER MEMORIES
    Publication number: 20130106816
    Abstract: A controller and method have been described for use in conjunction with a sequential display system including a display having a plurality of pixels. A series of update cycles is performed on the display to establish the grayscale value of each pixel for viewing a given frame using the display during which update cycles each pixel can have a single update to change states and without refreshing an existing state of the pixel.
