Abstract

A method of driving a picture display device having a plurality (an M number) of row electrodes and a plurality of column electrodes, by selecting an L number (L.gtoreq.3) of row electrodes simultaneously and by applying to the row electrodes voltages based on signals obtained by developing in time sequence column vectors of an M row-N column orthogonal matrix S (having elements 1, -1 and 0), wherein column electrode display pattern vectors (x =x.sub.1, x.sub.2, . . . X.sub.M) which have as elements display patterns (1: OFF, -1: ON), corresponding to simultaneously selected row electrodes, on a specified column electrode, and column electrode voltage sequence vectors (y)=(y.sub.1, y.sub.2, . . . y.sub.N) which have as elements voltage levels, on the column electrode which consists of an N number of voltage pulses arranged in time sequence in a display cycle, have a relation of (y.sub.1, y.sub.2, . . . y.sub.N)=(x.sub.1, x.sub.2, . . . x.sub.M) (S), wherein when .DELTA.y.sub.1 =.vertline.y.sub.1,-y.sub.l-1 .vertline.(i=2-N), the sum Q of the maximum value .DELTA.y.sub.MAX1 of .DELTA.y.sub.1 to (x)=(1, 1, . . . 1) and the maximum value .DELTA.y.sub.MAX2 of .DELTA.y.sub.1 to (1, -1, 1, -1, . . . ) substantially satisfies Q<1.4.times.L.
