Original Abstract Submitted
a method is disclosed for controlling a liquid crystal pulse width modulated display. a repetition period includes a group periods, each including b modulation intervals, each modulation interval spanning h unit durations and, except for the final modulation interval of the repetition period, a remainder unit duration. a desired number n of unit duration pulses are distributed into h unit duration pulses for each modulation interval, with remainder desired pulses distributed among the remainder unit durations of the modulation intervals. a drive sequence is generated, including one or more repetitions of the repetition period.
