Abstract (en)

The method of the invention makes it possible especially to act on the luminance by line with a view to creating localised overbrightnesses or underbrightnesses. The method consists in controlling a "written" state or an "erased" state of cells (C1 to C36) arranged in n lines (L1 to L4), then in applying hold signals to the cells with a view to activating the cells in the "written" state. According to one characteristic of the invention, the method consists in inhibiting transmission of one or more hold signals (SE, SAE) to the cells of at least one line (L1 to L9), in such a way as to reduce the luminance of this line with respect to the other lines. <IMAGE>
