The present invention provides a method of displaying successive image frames or fields on a matrix display device, said display device comprising a predetermined number of display lines each including a predetermined number of picture elements, wherein said pixels are coded in subfields and said matrix display device is driven by said subfields and wherein the luminance values to be displayed are derived from original luminance values having a higher number of bits than the number of bits to be displayed by a pixel element, said method further comprising the following steps: using one or more of the subfields with the lowest or lower weight(s) in a dithering process; and addressing two or more lines simultaneously for supplying common values to one or more subfields having a higher weight than said lowest or lower weight(s) of the pixels of said lines with respective common values.
