1. A system for motion compensation of color sequential displays presenting a plurality of image subframes within an image frame period, each image subframe representing a different color plane of an image frame, comprising: a motion estimator for estimating motion from the input image data for said each image subframe; a processor for calculating a motion compensated luminance value from the input image data for said each image subframe, valid at a temporal instance that corresponds to a presentation of each respective image subframe; and means for calculating a pixel image value for all image subframe components leading to correct perception of the motion for the combination of the image subframe components, without color break-up artifacts during view of separately and sequentially displayed different color image planes.
