Abstract
A mirror display system comprising a multiplicity of scan lines that are combined to generate an image. The multiplicity of scan lines are orthogonally positioned in response to a slow speed cyclic drive signal (for example, sinusoidal or repetitive triangular shape). To increase the brightness of the display, and unlike a typical raster scan display, scan lines are generated during both the positive going portion and the negative going portion of the cyclic drive signal.
