Abstract
A digital video stream of color images intended to be displayed on a matrix screen is formed of macropixels having at least four subpixels each. During processing, the color components of each image are transformed into an RGB format based on a polygonal representation of the color components and designed for the display of images using at least four colors by activating the four subpixels. The color components of the image are adapted in the course of the transformation.
