<p>The invention is related to a new kind of dithering method for plasma display panels. In a former Europena Patent Application a dithering method for the plasma display technology has been presented that utilizes a 3-dimensional dither pattern for the repeated use in a video sequence. A first dimension corresponds to a number of video frames, a second dimension corresponds to a number of video lines, and a third dimension corresponds to a number of cells or pixels in a video line. It has been found that this dither pattern has for some video levels the drawback of a generating a noticeable pattern in homogenous surfaces on the screen that reduces the picture quality. In order to overcome this drawback the invention proposes a new degree of freedom for the dither pattern. Different dither patterns are provided for different entries in a number of least significant bits of the data word representing the input video level. The invention makes it possible to suppress the disturbing patterns occurring on the plasma screen when using the conventional dither patterns. <IMAGE></p> |
