Abstract
A method of displaying an image on a pixel array includes, at a pixel array having a plurality of pixels with subpixels, assigning one or more subpixels of a pixel as an image subpixel to display image data only and assigning one or the more of the subpixels as a symbology subpixel to display symbology data only. When data received at the pixel array includes image data the image data is display by the image subpixels only, and not by the symbology subpixels, to limit degrading in imagery displayed once the symbology subpixels exhibit burn-in. Image display systems and digital weapon sights are also described.

A method of displaying an image on a pixel array, comprising:
- at a pixel array having a plurality of pixels with subpixels,
- assigning a subpixel of a pixel as an image subpixel;
- assigning a subpixel of the pixel as a symbology subpixel;
- and
- displaying image data with the image subpixel and not displaying the image data with the symbology subpixel when data received at the pixel array includes image data.
An image display system, comprising:
- a pixel array having a plurality of pixels with subpixels;
- a control module operatively connected to the pixel array and disposed in communication with a memory having instructions recorded on it that, when read by the control module, causes the control module to:
- assign a subpixel of a pixel as an image subpixel;
- assign a subpixel of the pixel as a symbology subpixel;
- display image data with the image subpixel and not display the image data with the symbology subpixel when data received at the pixel includes image data.
