Abstract
The inventive method calculates the column coefficients for a liquid crystal display panel. By using this method, the invention shows that the select/nonselect ratio can be maximized by the following ways: (1) Scaling the image to the maximally physically realizable select/nonselect ration via the following equation ##EQU1## (2) Choosing an optimum value for row rms voltage 'F', (3) Altering the statistics of an image, to reduce the variance of the different columns and/or increase the average of the columns, (4) Altering an image through fastest ascent or minimal error methods and (5) Designing the image to be predominantly at high rms voltage states. The select/nonselect ratio determines the available voltage range to achieve gray scale or variation in intensity. By maximizing the select/nonselect ratio, the present invention is able to obtain a wider range of intensity variation, i.e. larger contrast ratio.
