Abstract
Systems and methods for varying an intensity of pixels of displays are provided. A display subsystem may include a display driver for receiving image frame data and commands from an image or data source, including pixel intensity values for bit planes of an image frame; a parser for receiving the image frame data and the commands, and configured to determine a drive waveform having an pixel drive value and a pixel drive time interval for each bit plane of the image frame data; a display backplane for receiving the drive waveform, the display backplane including a pixel array comprising an array of pixels, each pixel driven by a pixel circuit; and display driver circuitry for driving the pixels in accordance with the drive waveform; and wherein an intensity of the pixel varies for each bit plane according to the pixel drive value and the pixel drive time interval.
