Abstract (en)

A colour sequential display method and apparatus that reduces or eliminates colour breakup. In a given frame (21) an illumination source (4) provides a first illumination colour, e.g. green, in a first subframe (31), a second illumination colour e.g. red, in a third subframe (33), and both the first and second illumination colours simultaneously in a second subframe (32) to provide a third mixed illumination colour. Also in the given frame (21) the pixel is driven either: (a) during the first subframe (31) to display the first colour; or (b) during the third subframe (33) to display the second colour; or (c) at least during the second subframe (32) to display the third colour. Colour breakup of the mixed colour is thereby reduced, or if choice (c) is carried out only during the second subframe (32), will tend to be eliminated.
