Abstract
A method and system for producing a finely textured display image of a gradation of high color resolution color shading. The high color resolution system is adapted to be coupled to a relatively inexpensive high speed active matrix display panel employing single-bit LCD drivers and a plurality of sub-pixel elements. The system includes a sub-pixel activation circuit for generating single-bit digital signals for driving individual ones of the sub-pixel elements. A duty cycle circuit arrangement controls the sub-pixel activation circuit to cause desired ones of the sub-pixel elements to be activated selectively an average number of times over a large number of consecutive frame time intervals to generate sub-pixel images having desired perceived color shading levels. A fixed pattern generator responsive to a desired color shading level signal, controls the duty cycle circuit arrangement to activate sub-pixel elements to the desired perceived color shading levels and assigns color codes to groups of sub-pixel elements to produce color blending sub-pixel patterns that help to inhibit substantially color contouring between adjacent sub-pixel element images exhibiting a plurality of diff…
