This part is what threw me off: In mice, debounce has to be of the "call state stable after Xms" type as opposed to the "call state unstable for Xms after event" type sometimes found in keyboards. I interpreted this as the mouse waiting until it gets multiple like reads of the button before reportin...

Debounce doesn't have to delay the initial pressed status, and if the button is held by the user for more than 10-20ms, then release doesn't have to be delayed by debounce either. In both cases, the controller waits for a button state change, immediately reports it, and then ignores changes for 10ms...

As I understand it, VGA, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, etc. all send the image in the usual scanline fashion, thus there is no need for any lag for any format. The display buffer size determines lag. If it only buffers one scanline at most, then added display lag is at most a fraction of a millisecond. Pa...

I imagine that a multi-faceted (e.g. polygonal) mirrored spinning cylinder would easily be able to scan a laser beam back and fourth 135,000 times a second while spinning far more slowly. i'm not so sure about the "far more slowly" part. even with a six sided prism/mirror you'd need 135000/6 = 2250...

The alternating polarity is to avoid migration of the ionic substances to one electrode and damage as a result (electroplating).

My obvious google search found something describing TN operation that makes sense. My understanding of that page: Normally the crystals form a twist, which twists the polarization of the light. When a field is applied, the crystals align end-to-end between the two electrodes, eliminating the polariz...

There's a stepped behavior in LCD response. Each voltage pass (LCD scanout) is a kick of momentum that pushes the LCD pixel closer to its final color value. Doesn't the LCD hold the voltage between passes? What causes there to be a kick each pass if the same voltage is held each time? Perhaps the a...

Higher VT allows a longer strobe without increasing top/bottom LCD artifacts, so in a way it makes things brighter. It doesn't of course mitigate the inherent tradeoff between strobe length and eye-tracking-induced motion blur (only higher LED backlight current can escape this tradeoff).

Laser technology also seems such that it's quite approachable by the hobbyist. You need some laser diodes, a brightness modulator circuit (high bandwidth so perhaps tricky), an X/Y mirror (also pretty high speed), and an FPGA and CPU combination for the controlling software. It's nothing like trying...

Oh nice, this sets up a continuum between that image above of the eerily empty city, and a monitor with strobing. As the strobe gets longer, things get blurry (more faint at the edges). As persistence lengthens, the blurry edge consumes the object and thus the whole object gets more faint. Keep incr...
