A circuit for implementing a registration-free, contiguous conductive plane. A circuit may include a plurality of conductive structures in a first plane. The circuit may further include a contiguous conductive equipotential surface in a second plane parallel to the first plane. The circuit may further include activation means configured to adjust an electric field between the first and second planes thereby activating one or more structures in the first plane by increasing a potential difference between the first and second planes to a threshold level deemed to constitute an active state. The circuit may further include deactivation means configured to adjust the electric field between the first and second planes thereby deactivating one or more structures in the first plane by decreasing the potential difference between the first and second planes below a threshold level deemed to constitute a deactivated state.

The invention claimed is: 1. A display comprising: a plurality of pixels on said display; and a plurality of drive lamps for providing light to said plurality of pixels, wherein said plurality of drive lamps are driven to cause each of said plurality of pixels to generate a color palette, wherein said plurality of drive lamps are driven such that each primary color subcycle is divided into a plurality of subdivisions, wherein a first non-zero intensity of any one or more of said plurality of drive lamps is adjusted to a second non-zero intensity during certain contiguous determinate subdivisions of each primary color subcycle. 2. The display as recited in claim 1, wherein one or more of said pixels is turned on and off only once during each primary color subcycle. 3. The display as recited in claim 1, wherein one or more of said pixels is turned on and off more than once during each primary color subcycle. 4. The display as recited in claim 1, wherein off-duty drive lamps are rotated such that an overall duty cycle is balanced between all of said plurality of drive lamps. 5. The display as recited in claim 1, wherein one or more additional bits of information is added to each primary color subcycle as a result of adjusting said intensity of said plurality of drive lamps. 6. The display as recited in claim 5, wherein said intensity of said plurality of drive lamps is adjusted by modulating an energy provided to illuminate said plurality of drive lamps. 7. The display as recited in claim 5, wherein said intensity of said plurality of drive lamps is adjusted by controlling how many of said plurality of drive lamps are activated. 8. The display as recited in claim 5, wherein said intensity of said plurality of drive lamps is adjusted by modulating an energy provided to illuminate said plurality of drive lamps and controlling how many of said plurality of drive lamps are activated. 9. The display as recited in claim 1, wherein the plurality of subdivisions of each primary color subcycle comprise two or more subdivisions, wherein the first non-zero intensity lasts for a duration of one subdivision and the second non-zero intensity lasts for a duration of remaining subdivisions within the primary color subcycle, and wherein the first non-zero intensity has an intensity value one-half that of the second non-zero intensity. 10. A display comprising: a plurality of pixels on said display; and a plurality of drive lamps for providing light to said plurality of pixels, wherein said plurality of drive lamps are driven to cause each of said plurality of pixels to generate a color palette, wherein said plurality of drive lamps are driven such that each primary color subcycle is divided into a plurality of subdivisions, wherein a first non-zero intensity of any one or more of said plurality of drive lamps is adjusted to a second non-zero intensity during certain contiguous determinate subdivisions of each primary color subcycle, wherein the plurality of subdivisions of each primary color subcycle comprise four or more subdivisions, wherein the first non-zero intensity lasts for a duration of three subdivisions and the second non-zero intensity lasts for a duration of remaining subdivisions within the primary color subcycle, and wherein the first non-zero intensity has an intensity value one-fourth that of the second non-zero intensity. 11. A display comprising: a plurality of pixels on said display; and plurality of drive lamps for providing light to said plurality of pixels, wherein said plurality of drive lamps are driven to cause each of said plurality of pixels to generate a color palette, wherein said plurality of drive lamps are driven such that each primary color subcycle is divided into a plurality of subdivisions, wherein a first non-zero intensity of any one or more of said plurality of drive lamps is adjusted to a second non-zero intensity during certain contiguous determinate subdivisions of each primary color subcycle, wherein the plurality of subdivisions of each primary color subcycle comprise eight or more subdivisions, wherein the first non-zero intensity lasts for a duration of seven subdivisions and the second non-zero intensity lasts for a duration of remaining subdivisions within the primary color subcycle, and wherein the first non-zero intensity has an intensity value one-eighth that of the second non-zero intensity. 12. A display comprising: a homogenous planar waveguide; a first drive lamp means selectively emitting first light of a first wavelength into the homogenous planar waveguide; circuitry for causing the first light to escape the homogenous planar waveguide at selected pixel areas through a process of frustrated total internal reflection; and circuitry for modulating the selectively emitted first light from the first drive lamp means for the duration of a plurality of subdivisions such that the first light intensity adjusts from a first non-zero intensity during a first time period to a second non-zero intensity during a second time period, wherein the first time period and the second time period are contiguous to each other. 13. The display as recited in claim 12, wherein the plurality of subdivisions of the emitted first light comprise two or more subdivisions, wherein the first non-zero intensity lasts for a duration of one subdivision and the second non-zero intensity lasts for a duration of remaining subdivisions within the primary color subcycle, and wherein the first non-zero intensity has an intensity value one-half that of the second non-zero intensity. 14.
