Abstract

A method is provided for optimizing the contrast and the angle of view of a liquid crystal display, this method consisting in periodically energizing a given zone of the display, permanently measuring the luminance of this zone so as to obtain at all times a pair of values corresponding respectively to the luminance of the zone in the energized state and to the luminance of the zone in the de-energized state, determining the contrast from the values of each of said pairs each of the measured luminance values and adjusting the control voltage of the cell display as a function of the contrast thus defined.
