Patent ID: 8054247

Claim:
A method for driving a display, comprising: (i) dividing one frame into more sub frames than a number of bits of data to be displayed; (ii) dividing a time period of the one frame into a number of periods corresponding to a number of scan lines multiplied by the number of sub frames; (iii) setting a start position of the sub frames within the time period based on a bit weight of the data; (iv) obtaining remainders of the sub frames by dividing the start position of the sub frames by the number of sub frames; and (v) obtaining a line number of a scan line to which a scan signal is supplied based on the time period of the one frame, the start position of the sub frames, and the number of the sub frames, wherein the line number LN is obtained by a following equation: LN=TRUNC {( Tf−Bsp )/ x+ 1} where Tf is an emission time of the one frame, Bsp is a start position of each and x is the total number of sub frames in the frame.
