Claim:
1. A method for operating a lighting device comprising a plurality of components provided for generating radiation, a plurality of row lines and a plurality of column lines, wherein the components are in each case electrically conductively connected to a row line and to a column line, wherein in each case one of at least two states is set for an operating potential of the row lines and a current supply of the column lines is set in each case by means of a current driver, wherein a row line is operated in an activated state, wherein a further row line is operated in a high-impedance state, wherein a column line is operated in an activated state, and wherein a further column line is operated with an intermediate voltage, which is between the voltage of the activated state of the row line and the voltage of the activated state of the column line, such that the component connected to the activated row line and to the column line with the intermediate voltage is deactivated.
