Patent ID: 8456493

Claim:
A method for driving a matrix display or a part region of a matrix display comprising: driving a plurality of lines with individual pixels, wherein the lines are configured as rows and columns, further wherein individual lines are driven selectively in such a way that rows are activated for a defined row addressing time and an operating current or a corresponding voltage applied to the columns in correlation with the activated row corresponding to the desired brightness in the pixels; and determining the row addressing time for each row variably as a function of the ratio of the maximum brightness of all the columns of each row to a maximum possible pixel brightness decomposing source data for the individual pixel brightnesses (D ij ) of the matrix display into a plurality of matrices for driving the display, wherein the superposition of all the matrices generates the image of the matrix display or the part region of the matrix display at the desired brightness of the respective pixels; and wherein the plurality of matrices includes one matrix for driving single lines of the display and one or a plurality of matrices for driving multiple lines of the display simultaneously.
