1. A display screen comprising:

  • a plurality of scanning lines, each scanning line including a plurality of display pixels, each display pixel including a plurality of sub-pixels, each sub-pixel including a pixel electrode, the scanning lines arranged such that a pixel-to-pixel capacitance exists between adjacent ones of the pixel electrodes in scanning lines, each pixel-to-pixel capacitance having a predetermined first capacitance value;

    a plurality of data lines arranged such that a data-to-data capacitance exists between adjacent ones of the data lines, each data-to-data capacitance having a predetermined second capacitance value;

    a scanning system that scans the scanning lines to update data voltages on the pixel electrodes in a scanning order of the scanning lines, the updating of the pixel electrodes in each scanning line including electrically connecting the pixel electrodes in each of the display pixels in the scanning line to a corresponding set of the data lines, applying a target data voltage to each data line in each of the sets of data lines in a predetermined sequence while the data lines corresponding to the other of the data lines in each set of the data lines are electrically floating, wherein a polarity of each of the target data voltages is determined by the scanning system according to a predetermined inversion scheme,wherein each application of target data voltage in a plurality of the applications of target data voltages results in a first error in a brightness of one or more sub-pixels based on a coupling of the corresponding application of target data voltage through one of the pixel-to-pixel capacitances, the first error being based on one of an increase in a magnitude of a voltage on the corresponding pixel electrode and a decrease in the magnitude of the voltage on the corresponding pixel electrode, the increase or decrease being based on the first capacitance value,wherein each application of target data voltage in a plurality of the applications of target data voltages results in a second error in a brightness of one or more sub-pixels based on a coupling of the corresponding application of target data voltage through one of the data-to-data capacitances, the second error being based on one of an increase in a magnitude of a voltage on the corresponding pixel electrode and a decrease in the magnitude of the voltage on the corresponding pixel electrode, the increase or decrease being based on the second capacitance value,wherein the first and second errors offset each other in one or more of the sub-pixels.
