    Abstract: This application relates to performing certain dithering processes to eliminate display artifacts such as flicker, which can be caused by charge accumulation at the display. The dither process can be performed by a display controller that uses a group lookup method for identifying groups of dithering patterns that can be combined to expand a number of color values available to the display. The dither process can also be performed as a temporal process that incorporates groups of dithering patterns into frames and shifts a spatial arrangement of the groups of dithering patterns over a sequence of frames. Additionally, the dither process can incorporate counters that count the number of times a particular spatial arrangement of dithering patterns has been used in a sequence of frames in order that each spatial arrangement of dithering patterns will share an average count with other spatial arrangements over a sequence of frames.
