Abstract

A method for driving a field emission display (10) includes the steps of dividing a digital video word (14), which has n-bits, into N digital sub-words (16, 17), each of which has n'-bits, and sequentially converting each of the digital sub-words (16, 17) into a control signal (27, 29). The control signals (27, 29) are sequentially utilized to control drive signals (28, 38, 39, 41) applied to the field emission display (10).
