Displaying images with cellular automata

Automata based image compression methods exploit similarities in the images to reduce the amount of memory to the essential. Our cellular automata methods are motivated due to the fact that they may be used to create images on liquid crystal displays when we add some computational functionality to the displays. For this purpose we consider image generation methods in cellular automata with some reasonable restrictions and get a representation where the color values of the images can be derived directly from the single cell states. We are interested in the capabilities of such devices and provide some benefits of this representation in image compression, even in higher dimensions.
