Abstract

A process for addressing cells of a plasma panel includes the step of coding the grey levels NG1 and NG2 relating to an item of information regarding the luminance of two cells situated in the same column and in two adjacent lines I and I+1. The grey levels NG1 and NG2 are coded as a first control word corresponding to a common value VC and as a second control word and a third control word corresponding to specific values, VS1 and VS2. The coding is such that, NG1=VS1+VC and NG2=VS2+VC. The process further includes the step of transmitting the bits of the first control word on the column inputs by simultaneously addressing the two lines I and I+1 in respect of the selection of the corresponding cells.
