Abstract (en)

The method involves controlling the display (5) by display drive signals. The signals include a temperature dependant contrast control signal (VLCD) generated by a display controller being timed with the output of a local oscillator (fosc2). The contrast control signal varies with the temperature dependant frequency variation of the local oscillator output signal. An independent claim is also included for a display device.
