Abstract
A control circuit includes a sequencing circuit. The sequencing circuit is configured to, in a color cycle: transfer a first bit plane to a spatial light modulator (SLM) and transmit a first global reset signal to the SLM instructing the SLM to load data of the first bit plane to pixel sub arrays of the SLM. The sequencing circuit is also configured to, in the color cycle: transfer a second bit plane to the SLM, and transmit a second global reset signal instructing the SLM to load data of the second bit plane to a first pixel sub-array of the pixel sub-arrays and to load data of the first bit plane to a second pixel sub-array of the pixel sub-arrays.
