Abstract
An improved technique for driving matrix displays, and in particular, passive matrix displays including row and column configurations of electro-optical display elements (e.g., liquid crystal, LED, plasma, and Electroluminescent). By storing and analyzing illumination information about display elements prior to excitation, a matrix display is more effectively driven. Also, by using the method, the selection ratio in LCD displays is improved.
