Patent ID: 7126617

Claim:
A method of driving a display apparatus, in which a frame comprises n subfields, each subfield has at least an address period to select cells to be displayed and a light period to light the selected cells, and a gradation scale is represented by combining the subfields to be lit among said plural subfields, wherein subfields of Bn brightness and Bn−1 brightness, when a brightness of said n subfields is assumed to be Bi (i=1−n; B 1 ≦B 2 . . . Bn−1≦Bn), are arranged at an interval of about half a length of said frame, wherein subfields of Bn−2 brightness and Bn−3 brightness among said n subfields are arranged at the interval of about half the length of said frame so that each of the subfields of the Bn−2 brightness and the Bn−3 brightness is positioned almost at a midpoint between two most brightness-weighted subfields.
