- generating, from the image data, color image bit-planes, each color image bit-plane representing a time increment for displaying one color of a plurality of colors for each pixel of the color image, a smallest time increment for each color represented by a least significant color image bit-plane;
displaying in at least one of a plurality of image sub-frame locations, for each of the plurality of colors, color patterns representing the color image bit-planes; and
displaying, for at least one of the colors, at least the least significant color image bit-planes in less than all of the image sub-frame locations.

Abstract
A color image is produced from image data. Color image bit-planes are generated from the image data. Each color image bit-plane represents a time increment for displaying one color of a plurality of colors for each pixel of the color image. For each of the colors, color patterns are displayed in a plurality of image sub-frame locations. The color patterns represent the color image bit-planes. At least the least significant color image bit-planes are displayed in less than all of the image sub-frame locations.
