          Appeal No. 96-2025                                                          
          Application 07/860,254                                                      


               applying a first modulated voltage, to said plurality of               
          pixels, with a time duration corresponding to a logical value               
          of a binary code of a plurality of predetermined bits in said               
          one of the pair of fields; and                                              
               inverting the logical value of the binary code of the                  
          plurality of predetermined bits to produce the binary                       
          complement of the logical value of the binary code of the                   
          plurality of predetermined bits and applying the binary                     
          complement as a second modulated voltage, to said plurality of              
          pixels, in the other of the pair of fields, thereby providing               
          a symmetrical voltage waveform to said plurality of pixels.
