Abstract

A display apparatus comprises a memory (20) and a display controller (22) adapted to read lines of an image stored in the memory in accordance with a raster-scan pattern for synchronous display. Elements are provided for periodically reconfiguring the display controller (22) so as to display an image having lines comprising pixel values interpolated between the pixel values of adjacent lines of the stored image. The display apparatus may include elements (10) for reading an image from an optical disc in accordance with the Compact Disc Interactive Standard (CD-I). A method of storing an image comprises storing picture information in combination with program information defining the required periodic reconfiguration of the display controller.
