ANALOG SUB-FIELDS FOR SAMPLE AND HOLD MULTI-SCAN DISPLAYS

摘要

An addressing method for sample and hold displays suitable for multi-scan applications (supporting several frame rates) shall be provided. Thus, there is disclosed a method for displaying a picture on a display screen including the steps of providing an input signal including a sequence of plural frames, each corresponding to a single picture, temporally dividing each frame having a frame duration into sub-fields and controlling a display element of the display screen on the basis of the sub-fields. The number and/or duration of sub-fields of each frame is automatically adapted to the frame duration of the frame. Furthermore, the amplitude of a sub-field controlling signal corresponding to the last subfield of each frame may be automatically adapted to the frame duration of the frame. Such display methods provide for a high grayscale quality and linearity even if the frame rate is not stable nor well-defined.
