Information about Comparison Of Display Technology
This is a comparison of various properties of different display technologies.
The figure shows a sketch of how different technologies present a single white/gray frame. Time and intensity is not to scale. Notice that some have a fixed intensity, while the illuminated period is variable. This is a kind of pulse-width modulation. Others can vary the actual intensity in response to the input signal.
DLPs use a kind of "chromatic multiplex" in which each color is presented serially. The intensity is varied by modulating the "on" time of each pixel within the time-span of one color.
LCDs have a constant (backlit) image, where the intensity is varied by blocking the light shining through the panel.
CRTs use an electron beam, scanning the display, flashing a lit image. If interlacing is used, a single full-resolution image results in two "flashes".
Plasma displays modulate the "on" time of each sub-pixel, similar to DLP.
Movie theaters use a mechanical shutter to "flash" the same frame 2 or 3 times, increasing the flicker frequency to make it less perceptible to the human eye.

Temporal characteristics
Different display technologies have vastly different temporal characteristics, leading to claimed perceptual differences for motion, flicker etc.)
Sketch of some common display technologies' temporal behaviour
DLPs use a kind of "chromatic multiplex" in which each color is presented serially. The intensity is varied by modulating the "on" time of each pixel within the time-span of one color.
LCDs have a constant (backlit) image, where the intensity is varied by blocking the light shining through the panel.

An Eidophor was a television projector used to create theatre-sized images. Its basic technology was the use of electrostatic charges to deform an oil surface.
