Just a bit of fun to see what sort of refresh rate I could achieve using a low end processor generating a pattern in real time as the display is multiplexed.

It looks a lot more colourful than the video has picked up. The difficulty of filming a moving light source.
It's using an LFSR (linear feedback shift register) implemented in software so it can be reseeded at the start of each multiplex scan. The random data is converted to colours and then fed in serially for each line before it is displayed as the next line of data is generated.
Other interesting things worthy of note. The individual red, green and blue drive circuits have the current set to create a good white. That means the reds draw most current followed by green and then blue with the lowest current.
