Subject: REQUEST: Info on LCD monitor update rates ??
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 92 11:46:42 BST



Hi, 

	Now I know that some of you out there have experience with
	little LCD monitors that are used in Head Mounted Displays (HMD's)

	What I want to know is, what is the maximum update rate for one of
	these panels ?

	I guess there are two parts to the systems, the driver electronics
	and the actual panel. I would like to  know the rate for the panel
	
	I know that the video monitors accept single bit video rate signals
	at approx 25f/s , these displays are multiplexed in 2D. Is it possible
	to drive the display from a parallel engine a line at a time ? say
	200/300 pixels at a time.

	Why would you want to drive a monitor at over 25fps ? Well you can
	recycle the extra frames and drive two eyes from one monitor or
	suchlike...I have an idea ??***!!!?

	Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
