ABSTRACT:
Individual pixels in a display formed of a plurality of pixels are controlled using a plurality of mixers, with each mixer having first and second inputs and an output. The mixers are connected to correspond to a matrix of rows and columns. The first inputs of all mixers corresponding to a particular, individual row in the matrix are connected to a common row lead, there being an equal number of row leads to the number of rows in the matrix. The second inputs of all mixers corresponding to a particular, individual column in the matrix are connected to a common column lead, there being an equal number of column leads to the number of columns in the matrix. A distinctive alternating signal is fed to each of the row leads, wherein the signal fed to one row lead differs from any signal fed to any other row lead by a predetermined, set frequency. An alternating signal is selectively fed to one or more of the column leads, wherein the signal fed to any particular column lead at any one time has the same frequency of one of the signals fed to the row leads. The mixer corresponding to the row which has the same frequency as the frequency being selectively fed to the column lead produces a DC voltage as an output signal from the output of the mixer. That DC voltage output is used to drive individual pixels on the display.
