Abstract

Disclosed is a method for the addressing of each column of a matrix type LCD panel consisting in the production of a pulse to control a driver transistor of said column, said pulse having a duration determined by the value of the video signal sample at input, said pulse acting on the conduction state of said transistor to connect said column to a supply terminal where a voltage gradient develops. According to the method two pulse durations, the sum of which is predetermined, are alternated and, in order that a given value of a video signal sample may produce the same optical effect from one period to the next one, differentiated excitation voltages are applied to at least one of the electrodes sandwiching the liquid crystal layer, namely said column and its counter-electrode. Application notably to active matrix LCD panels.
