Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an active matrix type electrophoresis display device whose number of the times of writings is further smaller. In an electrophoresis display device which performs the display of picture using a n-bit digital picture signal, the respective pixels are divided into a plurality of sub-pixels, the respective sub-pixels have a 1-bit memory circuit. Since an electrophoresis element is stable in once written state, upon the display of static picture, the picture is retained by the digital picture signal retained in a memory circuit, therefore, a periodic refresh operation which is conventionally considered to be required are capable of being omitted.

Abstract: A technique for modulating light by an optically addressed, electric charge accumulating spatial light modulator achieves substantially monotonic gray scale response. Embodiments digitally modulate the voltage across a photoreceptive material included in the spatial light modulator. The digital modulation scheme entails illuminating the photoreceptor with a series of light pulses propagating from an LCoS, in which the durations of the light pulses and their positions in time combine to produce binary-weighted equivalent rms voltages on the photoreceptor. The light pulses originate from a light-emitting diode or other switchable light source, and the timing of the light pulses is controlled such that they are emitted only when the associated LCoS is in a stable state. Emitting light pulses while the LCoS is in a stable state avoids non-monotonic behavior.
