Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022256994A1] Described is a driver (300) for driving a pixel of a digital liquid crystal on silicon display, the driver comprising: a control circuit (301) comprising one or more transistors, the control circuit (301) configured to: clock an input binary signal for latching the state of the pixel for each frame; and form a logical control signal for the pixel in dependence on the input binary signal; a voltage scaling circuit (302) comprising one or more transistors, the voltage scaling circuit (302) configured to: receive the logical control signal from the control circuit (301); and form a pixel drive signal for driving the pixel in dependence on the logical control signal; wherein the size of the transistors in the voltage scaling circuit (302) is greater than the size of the transistors in the control circuit (301). By providing the transistors in the voltage scaling circuit (302) of greater size than the transistors in the control circuit (301) this may enable to overall size of the driver (300) to be reduced which may reduce the pixel pitch size.
