SEQUENCE AND TIMING CONTROL OF WRITING AND REWRITING PIXEL MEMORIES WITH SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER DATA RATE
First Claim
1. An image display system having a plurality of pixel elements to receive and apply digital image data of multiple bits to display image according to the digital image data, the image display system further comprising:
- a controller to control a process of writing the digital image data into each of the pixel elements by dividing the image data of multiple bits into a plurality of groups and writing each group of bits into the pixel element in a non-sequential order that is unrelated to a significance order of bit, neither in an order of from a most significant bit (MSB) to a least significant bit (LSB) nor from the LSB to the MSB, and without a writing conflict in writing said memory data into two pixel elements simultaneously during a process of writing and a look up table containing at least one set of sequences of data writing for said display system.

Abstract
A Display system driven with binary pulse-width-modulation requires very high data transfer rate to achieve high grayscale. This invention discloses the embodiments of hardware structures and configurations which enable to reduce substantially the data transfer rate using non-sequential order of binary bits, wherein the combination of the sequences of binary bits is selected from the combinations which avoid simultaneous writing of multiple rows. The implementation of this invention substantially reduces the power consumption and the number of connecting pads of display chip
