The present invention relates to an apparatus and a device for displaying
images. It is known to inlay a pattern of watermark type into the
sequence of images to be displayed so as to combat the copying of images
by picture-taking. This inlaying consists in modulating the intensity of
the pixels of the pattern about the value to be displayed at a high
frequency which renders the pattern invisible to the human eye but which
generates artefacts on the sequence filmed by the camcorder. This
technique poses problems when the sequence of images to be displayed
comprises scenes in motion. The pattern appears since the integration
carried out by the eye at the moment of display of the images is not
correct. According to the invention, it is proposed that the patterns to
be inlayed be motion compensated.
