| 1. A display, comprising:
at least one driving circuit; and
an array comprising a plurality of interferometric modulators disposed in a plurality of columns and rows, said array being
configured to be driven by said driving circuit, and said interferometric modulators having at least a released state and
an actuated state,
wherein said driving circuit is configured to
stagger the assertion of a signal for two or more columns of interferometric modulators during a column addressing period
and maintain the asserted signal on each column during a row addressing period, the row addressing period being subsequent
to said column addressing period, and
strobe a row of the array during the row addressing period to actuate or release interferometric modulators in the two or
more columns of interferometric modulators disposed in said row.
