Integrated driver for use in display systems having micromirrors

1. A method for driving an array of micromirrors of a spatial light modulator used in a display system, wherein the spatial light modulator comprises an array of micromirrors, each of which being associated with an electrode of an array of electrodes, each electrode being connected a memory cell of an array of memory cells, the method comprising:

connecting the memory cells to a first and second sets of wordlines such that, for a row of the memory cell array, the memory cells of the row are separately connected to at least a wordline from the first set and another wordline from the second set;

connecting the each memory cells of a column to a bitline;

upon receiving a display control signal and a set of data, generating a wordline control signal having a first value and a second value;

activating the wordlines from the first set;

delivering the data to the memory cells connected to the activated wordlines;

deactivating the wordlines from the first set;

activating wordlines from the second set; and

delivering the data to the memory cells connected to the activated wordlines.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

producing a pump signal; and

delivering the pump signal to the pump line.

3. A method for driving an array of micromirrors of a spatial light modulator used in a display system, wherein the spatial light modulator comprises an array of micromirrors, each of which being associated with an electrode of an array of electrodes, each electrode being connected a memory cell of an array of memory cells, the method comprising:

connecting the memory cells to a first and second sets of wordlines such that, for a row of the memory cell array, the memory cells of the row are separately connected to at least a wordline from the first set and another wordline from the second set;

connecting the each memory cells of a column to a bitline;

upon receiving a display control signal;

generating a wordline control signal that selectively activates and the deactivates the wordlines;

updating the memory cells of a row, further comprising:

loading a first set of data for the memory cells connected to the first wordline of the row;

activating the first wordline delivering the first set of data to the memory cells connected to the activated first wordline;

deactivating the first wordline;

loading a second set of data for the memory cells connected to the second wordline;

activating the second wordline; and

delivering the data to the memory cells connected to the activated second wordline.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

providing a pump signal; and

delivering the pump signal to the pump line.

5. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

updating memory cells.
