A spatial light modulator having two static random access memory (SRAM) devices, including a display controller configured with a display sequence, the display sequence including a first display slice and a second display slice, the first display slice having a display time less than two times a minimum time period determined by the time of a write event, and the second display slice having a display time of more than two times the minimum time period. The controller controls write events from the two SRAM devices, and the first display slice and second display slice are ordered in the display sequence so that the controller causes the spatial light modulator to output light and causes the two SRAM devices each to perform a write event during the second display slice.
