Frame rate-convertible active matrix display

The present invention provides a dithering and directional modulation-based frame rate conversion apparatus comprising: a directional delta modulation generator configured to receive a plurality of input color data representing a plurality of input color components of an input pixel color and generate a plurality of modulated data for the plurality of input color data respectively; and a plurality of dithering modules configured to perform K-bit dithering conversion on the plurality of input color data respectively to generate a plurality of output color data for representing a plurality of output color components of an output pixel color with a color depth of K bits per component, where K is an integer equal to or great than 1. The present invention can allow display to support frame rates higher than its standard configuration without observable color depth degradation.
