There are three different '''addressing schemes''' for [[display]]-devices; 1) electronically or 2) optically addressed displays, or 3) addressing by plasma columns. Each teqnique allows a physical way of switching the [[pixel]] to a black-white or more usually gray-scale state.

Colour displays or the [[pixel geometry]] are actually implemented using three [[gray-scale]] component system making up one [[pixel]], and each component is followed with a [[primary colour]]-filter to separate the [[red]], [[green]] and [[blue]]. So the treatment simplifies since it is sufficient to consider only a pixel with ''N'' gray shades. The shade level is typically lineary dependent on the applied potential over the pixel, so each level will translate into a gapchannel of say ''&deltaDelta;V/N'' [[volt]]s per gray shade. Since there is risk for a [[crosstalk|cross-talk]], the addressing scheme must carefully be designed so that addressing a pixel does not affect other neighbours.
