Abstract

A liquid crystal halftone display system including a tone generator which, for pixels having P tones of K tones (1≦P≦K), alternately outputs first N-bit tone display data and second N-bit tone display data in successive frames at one of a first phase and a second phase. Within a block of pixels, the tone generator alternately inverts the phase of the N-bit tone display data at successive first pixels having different ones of the P tones within the block of pixels beginning at a left side of the block of pixels, and alternately inverts the phase of the N-bit tone display data at successive pixels having a same one of the P tones within the block of pixels beginning at the left side of the block of pixels.
