1. A method of operating a display comprising:
- loading image data to an array of pixels during a data loading phase;
actuating a light blocking element in pixels of at least two rows and at least two columns during an update phase; and
illuminating at least one lamp during a lamp illumination phase to direct light toward the pixels to form an image on the display, wherein the update phase partially overlaps with the data loading phase to increase a lamp duty cycle, and wherein the update phase comprises a first sub-phase corresponding to a first transition of a light blocking element, and a second sub-phase corresponding to a second transition of the light blocking element, and wherein image data is loaded during at least a portion of the first sub-phase.

Abstract
A method of operating a display including loading image data to pixels in multiple rows of pixels in an array of pixels during a data loading phase, actuating the pixels in the multiple rows during an update phase, and illuminating at least one lamp during an lamp illumination phase to illuminate the actuated pixels to form an image on the display, in which each of the loading, actuating and illuminating phases partially overlap in time.
