Abstract (en)
With the new plasma display panel technology new kinds of artefacts can occur in video pictures. These artefacts are commonly described as "dynamic false contour effect", since they correspond to disturbances of gray levels and colors in the form of an apparition of colored edges in the picture when the observation point on the PDP screen moves. According to the invention, such an artefact is compensated by analyzing the pictures, and determining the pixels which need to be corrected. The digital sub-field code words of these pixels are replaced by corrected sub-field code words. Thereby, the correction sub-fields (C1, C2, C3) which are inserted in or omitted from the digital code word are selected under consideration of its position within the frame period for optimal results. <IMAGE>
