Abstract: A display method and system are described for displaying a stereo image comprising a first image and a second image. A light valve array comprising an array of light valve elements is driven according to an image and a light source is provided for generating a shaped light beam which can illuminate a portion of the light valve array. A scanning device is provided which is arranged to scan the shaped light beam across the light valve array. Light valve elements of the same light valve array are caused to sequentially adopt a state representative of the first image of the stereoscopic image and a state representative of the second image, and to cause the light valve elements to adopt a new state representative of one of the first and second images in advance of the scanning by the shaped light beam and to change to a new state representative of the other of the first and second images during a period between successive scans of the shaped light beam.

Abstract: The invention relates to controlling the brightness control signal for a pixel of a liquid crystal display. According to the invention, a method of controlling the brightness control signal for a first pixel of a liquid crystal display for displaying a predetermined image is provided, comprising the following steps: determining the intended brightness of the first pixel according to the predetermined image, determining the brightness of a second pixel, and calculating the brightness control signal for the first pixel on the basis of a function of the intended brightness of the first pixel and the brightness of the second pixel, wherein the function is a predetermined correction function according to which the influence of the brightness of the second pixel on the brightness of the first pixel due to fringe field effects between the first pixel and the second pixel is corrected. This method provides for the advantage that a more realistic image can be displayed.
