Integrated digital input driver for active matrix liquid-crystal-on-silicon display

A digital input driver was designed and integrated with an active matrix nematic liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCOS) display. Fabricated by conventional 2-/spl mu/m CMOS technology, the driver in the periphery of the active matrix can easily incorporate versatile electronic functions into the silicon backplane. This integration makes the LCOS display easier to be interfaced with different image sources of various formats and, hence, leads to a versatile display system.
