Abstract

La présente invention concerne un affichage à cristaux liquides (1) présentant un cristal liquide (14) à mode OCB. Selon l'invention, des signaux d'image sont produits, lesquels comprennent trois couleurs composées de deux couleurs sélectionnées parmi le rouge, le vert, le bleu et du blanc en fonction d'un signal d'image entré à partir d'un dispositif externe. Selon l'invention, une image est affichée durant la période de sous-trame au cours de laquelle un rétroéclairage (20) émet les lumières des trois couleurs en fonction d'un signal d'image relatif à la période de sous-trame, le noir est affiché au cours de la période de sous-trame au cours de laquelle le rétroéclairage (20) émet la lumière de la couleur non sélectionnée parmi les trois couleurs, affichant ainsi l'image par le procédé d'affichage en couleur à champ séquentiel.
