Patent ID: 8493417

Claim:
A field sequential image display apparatus, which uses a plurality of single color light sources, the apparatus comprising: an image analyzing unit dividing all frames of an image signal into fields, whereby the number of fields is greater than the number of colors of the plurality of single color light sources; an image display panel displaying the fields sequentially; and a light source unit comprising the plurality of single color light sources that are one of independently driven and driven with other light sources in order to supply lights corresponding to color components of the fields to the image display panel, wherein each of the fields is scanned on the entire image display panel, wherein an average driving frequency of each of the plurality of single color light sources is higher than a frame rate, the image analyzing unit divides three successive frames, including a first frame, a second frame and a third frame, into the fields and assigns a color to each field of the three successive frames according to a first arrangement order, a second arrangement order and a third arrangement order, respectively, such that the first arrangement order, the second arrangement order and the third arrangement order are different from each other, and the fields among all of the frames are displayed such that a single color light source of the plurality of single color light sources is never driven successively.
