Hardware complexity
A matrix display with N rows and M columns needs (N+M) drivers Typical driver consists of shift
register to accept serial data, latch to hold the data during row select time and multiplexer to apply a voltage
corresponding to the data Hardware complexity increases with number of voltage levels in the row
and column waveforms

Row pulse height modulation
Amplitude of row select pulse is varied in each frame based on the gray shade bit used as data for scanning the
display 2m gray shades with m time intervals More gray shades with less flicker Selection ratio is less than the
maximum

Successive approximation
Similar to row pulse height modulation Amplitudes of both row and column
waveforms are varied in successive frames
Amplitude is increased by a factor 2½ for each bit from LSB to MSB
Selection ratio is maximum 2m gray shades with m time intervals

Summary
Frame modulation -- Limited gray shades
Pulse width modulation -- Limited gray shades
Amplitude modulation -- No limit on gray shades Large number of levels
in column waveform
Row pulse height modulation -- More gray shades Low selection ratio
![Page 31: Gray Scale Techniques for Liquid Crystal Displays T.N. Ruckmongathan February 2003.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/5697bf821a28abf838c85be3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Conclusion
More gray shades than frame modulation
Less hardware complexity as compared to amplitude modulation
Maximum selection ratio and hence good contrast in the display
Successive approximation is a better choice for displaying gray shades in passive matrix LCDs.
