Abstract

A method of producing an image drive signal which is free of skew. Disclosure is made of a point of sale merchandising system having a transparent digitizer mounted on an LCD module. A stylus is used to draw a signature on the digitizer, and the signature is displayed on the LCD module in registration with the moving stylus. Skew effects are eliminated by performing a mapping transformation using a set of 6 transformation constants. These constants are derived from data obtained while placing the stylus over three reference spots on the display.
