A sequential color system with reduced or eliminated global temporal notching losses may be implemented with a buffered display panel. Fast global blanking and/or inter-field images may be used to reduce or eliminate the global temporal notching losses. When consecutive states of a pixel are “on,” an inter-field image may be displayed by maintaining the pixel in an “on” state instead of turning the pixel “off” and then turning the pixel “on.” This improves the color brightness and saturation. The display may be implemented with a color wheel or with a color switch.
