Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0349415A1] According to the invention, activation signals are sent to the columns of the screen, in the course of the line time T, for a time which depends on the grey level i of the image point under consideration and which equals (T/N). Nil with 0 </= i </= m </= N, the Nil forming a strictly ascending sequence in i, with zero first term and with last term less than or equal to N. The Nil are chosen so as to obtain a specified distribution for the luminous intensities of the various grey levels. <??>Application to the control of liquid-crystal or microtip matrix screens. <IMAGE>
