  • Local bit-plane memory for spatial light modulator
    Patent number: 6833832
    Abstract: A controller (15) for a display system (10) that uses a spatial light modulator (15) to display data formatted in bit-planes. The controller (15) receives at least some of the bit-plane data from a frame memory. It has local memory that buffers data transfer and stores data for bit-planes having multiple accesses, thereby increasing the bandwidth of data transfers from the frame memory (14) to the SLM (16).
    Type: Grant
