Abstract

A method and apparatus for pseudorandomly decrementing the intensity of data that is displayed on a raster scan display screen. The apparatus essentially comprises means for selecting and partially decrementing data from an image memory and means for controlling the rate at which the partially decremented data is written back into the image memory so that an apparently uniform phosphor decay rate is observed by a viewer.
