A method of displaying successive image frames on a matrix display device, where said device comprises a set of lines, and luminance value data are coded in subfields, e.g. plasma display panels (PDPs), plasma-addressed liquid crystal panels (PALCs), liquid crystal displays (LCDs), Polymer LED (PolyLEDs), Electroluminescent (EL) used for personal computers, television sets, etc. In order to reduce the address period, or addressing time without impairing image definition and without creating motion artefacts, grouping of adjacent lines in sets of lines is performed differently for each successive frame and for different regions of the display device, e.g. lines may be grouped by three in the upper half of the display, and by two in the lower one, in odd frames, and reversely in even frames. A common luminance value data for one or more subfields is addressed simultaneously to all lines of a set of lines.
A method of displaying successive image frames or fields on a subfield driven matrix display device comprising display lines being addressed in sets of adjacent lines, said image frames or fields having original luminance value data being coded in subfields comprising a group of most significant subfields and a group of least significant subfields, a common luminance value data being supplied to lines of a set of said sets of lines, characterized in that said addressing in sets of adjacent lines is performed differently for (i) successive frames or fields and/or (ii) for different regions of the display device and/or (iii) for different subfields.
A display apparatus comprising a subfield driven display device for displaying successive image frames or fields on display lines, said image frames or fields having original luminance value data being coded in subfields comprising a group of most significant subfields and a group of least significant subfields, the display apparatus further comprising means for addressing the display device in sets of adjacent lines, and means for supplying a common luminance value data to lines of a set of said set of lines, characterized in that the display apparatus comprises means for selecting different sets of adjacent lines for:
