Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1677277A2] The method involves applying a line selection voltage (VLS) to a line and a voltage to a column related to a grey level, during a line selection time (Tl) that is subdivided into groups according to a non-linear law with a transfer function close to the inverse of a gamma correction transfer function. The column voltage takes a value of one of two voltages throughout one group or switches from one voltage to the other during the group. The grey level is numerically coded according to the gamma transfer function based on the perception of the eye. The column voltage is selected among voltages (Vc0-Vc4) that are distributed in pairs. An independent claim is also included for a device for controlling a matrix display screen.
