Abstract
A method of controlling the display period of video data, and system thereof, that matches the frame period of displayed video data to the speed of a color wheel. The period of the color wheel is measured to determine the display period. An optimum frame sequence pattern is selected, based on the display period, to minimize the artifacts created in the displayed image while maximizing the portion of the frame period used to display the image data. The display period for each segment of the frame sequence pattern is scaled to fit the period of the color wheel, and each bit of the image data is loaded into the spatial light modulator and displayed at the proper time.
