— A VGA‐resolution LCOS microdisplay operated in the field‐sequential color (FSC) mode was fabricated using a low‐cost process. An 8‐bit digital data driver with digital‐to‐analog converters, which can realize a 256‐level gray scale and gamma compensation, has been integrated into a color microdisplay. A top‐to‐bottom approach to the design of an FSC LCOS microdisplay is described. The design of the silicon‐backplane circuits is outlined in detail. Finally, a prototype of this display and its imaging performance are discussed.
