Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'affichage à cristaux liquides qui limite le papillotement. Plus précisément, l'invention concerne un dispositif d'affichage doté d'une première région d'affichage, la première région d'affichage comprenant une pluralité de deuxièmes régions et une pluralité de troisièmes régions. Les deuxièmes régions et les troisièmes régions sont disposées de façon alternée. Les deuxièmes régions sont des régions hors affichage où des données d'affichage sont mises à jour. Les troisièmes régions sont des régions où une image est affichée. Les deuxièmes régions et les troisièmes régions se déplacent dans une direction, chaque région de la pluralité de deuxièmes régions présente une période qui est sélectionnée simultanément afin de mettre à jour des données d'affichage, et la pluralité de troisièmes régions est excitée de façon à réaliser un affichage simultanément.
