ABSTRACT:
An array of individual elements (10) having reduced control circuitry as compared to existing devices. Sets of elements (11) share a memory cell (12), such that each memory cell (12) has the same fanout as other memory cells (12). Each element (11) in a set is switched to an on or off state via a reset line (13) that is separate from that of the other elements (11) in that set. Data is loaded in split bit-frames during a set time period, such that each split bit-frame contains only the data for elements (11) on one reset line (13). Thus, the same memory cell (12) can be used to deliver data to all elements (11) in its fanout because only one element (11) in the fanout is switched at a time.
