Abstract

A liquid crystal matrix display includes a matrix driver delivering at least a first frame section signal and a second frame selection signal and a first write device and a second write device associated with each pixel element of the matrix, wherein one of the write devices is connected to the associated selection line of the pixel element, and the other is connected to another selection line of the matrix. The write devices have crossed sample and transfer commands, the first frame selection signal causing sampling in the first write device, and contacting of information already sampled in the second write device with the pixel element, the second frame selection signal causing sampling in the second write device, and contacting of information already sampled in the first write device with the pixel element.

Claims (23)

a matrix driver to deliver at least a first frame selection signal and a second frame selection signal; and

a plurality of first write devices, each of the plurality of first write devices being associated with a corresponding pixel element, a control terminal of each first write device being directly connected to a selection line of the corresponding pixel element;

a plurality of second write devices, each of the plurality of second write devices being associated with the corresponding pixel element, a control terminal of each second write device being directly connected to a selection line of another pixel element of another matrix row, the first and second write devices including crossed sampling and transfer commands, the first frame selection signal causing sampling in the first write device and contacting of information already sampled in the second write device with the pixel element, the second frame selection signal causing sampling in the second write device and the contacting of information already sampled in the first write device with the pixel element.

2. A matrix display according to claim 1 , wherein the first frame selection signal and the second frame selection signal are mutually inverted binary signals.

3. A matrix display according to claim 2 , wherein the matrix driver inverts levels of the first frame selection signal and second frame selection signal at each new frame.

4. A matrix display according to claim 2 , wherein the matrix driver inverts levels of the first frame selection signal and second frame selection signal at each new color frame.

5. A matrix display according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second write devices comprises a first, a second, and a third switching circuit connected in series between the data line and the pixel element, and a storage capacitance of which one terminal is connected between the second and third switching circuits and another terminal to a reference voltage element.

6. A matrix display according to claim 5 , in which the switching circuits are transistors.

7. A system for modifying all points of an image simultaneously on a matrix display according to claim 3 , wherein the frame selection signals are inverted at each new frame to cause information stored at a preceding frame to be displayed, and to sample information corresponding to a new frame.

8. A projection system comprising a matrix display according to claim 4 , configured to be used in a color sequential mode, wherein the frame selection signals are inverted at each new color frame.

9. A projection system according to claim 8 , comprising a white light source and color filters, the display being sequentially illuminated with red light, with green light, and with blue light, according to a pre-determined sequence by the color filters, and the driver configured to display the information stored at the preceding color frame, corresponding to the color with which the display is illuminated.

10. A video image display system comprising a projection system according to claim 4 .

11. A virtual reality system comprising a projection system according to claim 4 .

12. The liquid crystal display matrix according to claim 1 , wherein first and second write devices of a same pixel element have at least one connection to a same selection line.
