                 Appeal 2007-1283                                                                                     
                 Application 09/772,477                                                                               
                                                THE INVENTION                                                         
                        The disclosed invention relates generally to a method of displaying                           
                 images on a subfield driven matrix display device.  More particularly, the                           
                 disclosed invention is directed to, inter alia, plasma display panels (PDP),                         
                 plasma-addressed liquid crystal panels (PALCs), liquid crystal displays                              
                 (LCDs), as well as Polymer LED (PolyLED), and Electroluminescent (EL)                                
                 displays that are used for personal computers, televisions sets, and the like                        
                 (Specification 1).                                                                                   

                        Independent claim 1 is illustrative:                                                          
                 1.  A method of displaying successive image frames or fields on a                                    
                 subfield driven matrix display device comprising display lines being                                 
                 addressed in sets of adjacent lines, said image frames or fields having                              
                 original luminance value data being coded in subfields comprising a group                            
                 of most significant subfields and a group of least significant subfields, a                          
                 common luminance value data being supplied to lines of a set of said sets of                         
                 lines of at least one of the least significant subfields,                                            
                        characterized in that said addressing in sets of adjacent lines of the at                     
                 least one of the least significant subfields is performed differently for                            
                 (i) successive frames or fields and/or (ii) for different regions of the display                     
                 device and/or (iii) for different subfields.
