Abstract
A spatial light modulator (SLM) device (30) having a pixel array (31) and an associated memory cell array (36). Each memory cell (10a) receives pixel data from a single bit-line that carries pixel data down columns of the memory cell array (36). Each memory cell (10a) has two latches (21, 25). A first latch (21) receives data from the bit-line. A second latch (25) receives data transferred from the first latch (21) in response to a transfer signal, and is in electrical communication with at least one address electrode (14) of each pixel (10) of the pixel array (31).
