Abstract: The present invention relates to a LCOS display driving system. The driving sequential control block generates a control code representing a loading sequence of the R, G, and B data for pixels in one of scan lines. The multiplexer multiplexes the R, G, and B data from latches according the control code. The shared level shifter shifts the level of the R, G, and B data from the multiplexer. The digital analog converts converting the R, G, and B data to a corresponding analog R, G, and B data voltage. The shared unity-gain buffer stores the analog R, G, and B data voltage from the shared digital analog converter. The demultiplexer demultiplexes the analog R, G, and B data voltage according the control code.

Abstract: A method for driving a dark ring of a liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCOS) display is provided to prevent the fringe effect (bright lines) due to the constant voltage difference between the dark ring and the adjoining pixels within the LCOS display. A dark ring is divided into a plurality of portions. The polarity of each portion is controlled in accordance with the polarity of the adjoining pixels within the LCOS display and the scan direction of gate drivers such that the polarity inversion for each portion will coincide with that for the adjoining pixels within the LCOS display so as to avoid the fringe effect (bright lines).

Abstract: A liquid crystal on silicon panel and a driving method thereof are provided. The LCOS panel and the driving method thereof of the present invention will complete driving the M×K sub-pixels after scanning I times, wherein M is the horizontal resolution and I<K. Hence, it can reduce the product cost of the drivers without sacrificing the frame rate. In addition, because of the discrete design of the even column driver and odd column driver, the width for the layout of the column driver can be double.
