    摘要: A cyclic rail-stabilized method of driving an electrophoretic display device (1), wherein a substantially dc-balanced driving waveform is used to effect the various required optical transitions. The driving waveform consists of a plurality of picture potential differences (20), which cause the charged particles (6) of the electrophoretic device (1) to cyclically between extreme optical positions in a single optical path, irrespective of the image sequence required to be displayed, i.e. in order to display each grey scale, it is necessary for the particles (6) to first pass through one of the extreme optical states. In order to minimise the effects of dwell time on the image quality and minimise, or even eliminate, the need to consider image history, shaking pulses (10) are generated immediately prior to each picture potential difference (20).

    摘要: Electophoretic display units (1) are driven with a relatively low amount of power and more efficiently by addressing the pixels (11) only once during a sequence of frame periods. Compared to addressing a pixel (11) each frame period, for signals having a duration of more than one frame period, a large amount of power is saved. During a sequence of frame periods formed by a time-interval (T1-T8), one or more reset pulses (R) or one or more driving pulses (Dr) are provided. The addressing of a line of pixels (11) can be skipped during a sequence of frame periods if all pixels (11) of the line of pixels (11) have to remain unchanged. Signals having a duration of two or more frame periods do not need to be supplied to the pixels (11) each frame period, but need to be supplied only once by addressing the pixels (11) only once during a sequence of frame periods.

The display device comprises control means (15) for supplying drive signals to the electrodes. In operation the image is displayed in subsequent frames. The control means comprise a row driver (16) and a column driver (10). Preset signals (53) are in operation supplied to the display elements whereby the preset signals applied to display elements alter between subsequent frames.

    摘要: The electrophoretic display panel (1), for displaying a picture, has drive means (100) which are arranged for controlling the potential difference of each picture element (2) to be a sequence of preset potential differences and subsequently to be a picture potential difference for enabling the particles (6) to occupy one of said positions for displaying the picture. Each preset potential difference represents a preset energy and has as a result a change of the position of the particles (6). For the display panel (1) to be able to display a picture of relatively high quality and to have relatively small changes in the appearances of picture elements (2) as a result of the sequences of preset potential differences even when the number of preset potential differences in the sequences is relatively small, the drive mean (100) are further arranged for controlling for each picture element (2) of at least a number of the picture elements (2) the preset energies of the preset potential differences in the sequence to depend on a serial number in the sequence to obtain for each preset potential difference in the sequence a substantially equal magnitude of the change of the position of the particles (6).

    摘要: Electrophoretic display units (1) are driven more flexibly by creating sequences of frame periods in which at least two frame periods of the sequence of frame periods have a different frame period duration and by selecting frame periods from a sequence of frame periods for providing driving pulses to the pixels (11). The number of possible gray values is increased, and the gray values can be generated more accurately. During the rest of the frame periods not chosen for driving the pixel (11), this pixel (11) keeps its gray value due to the bi-stable character. A frame period duration of a frame period is adapted by delaying a start of a next frame period. By supplying data-dependent signals having sections with a positive amplitude and with a negative amplitude, the net driving result is the difference between the sections with the positive and negative amplitudes, to further increase the number of possible gray values.

    摘要: Electrophoretic display units (1) can get a shorter total image update time by generating and supplying at least some of the data independent signals (Sh1, Sh2, S4, Sh5) during the processing of image information (Del). The processing is done to calculate the data-dependent signals (R,Dr). Data-independent signals (Sh1, Sh2, Sh3, Sh4, Sh5) do not depend on this processing, so these signals may be supplied during the processing. The total image update time is formed by the sum of the time required for image processing (Del) and of the subsequent time required to supply the data-dependent signals (R,Dr) to the pixels (11).

    摘要: Electrophoretic display units (1) are driven with a reduced amount of power by efficiently clocking a data signal into the data driving circuitry (30) only once and then supplying this data signal subsequently to two or more pixels (11) in two or more different lines. This can be done in case the pixels (11) in a same column require the same data pulse, like a shaking data pulse (Sh1, Sh2) or a reset data pulse (R). As a result, time is saved, which allows frame periods to be shorter. Even more time can be saved and even shorter frame periods are possible when combining the efficient clocking with the parallel driving of groups of lines (70-72).

    摘要: An accurate greyscale is obtained with more natural image updates when updating a display (310) in a bi-stable electronic reading device (300,400), such as one using an electrophoretic display, by applying a first shaking pulse (S1) to the display, applying a first portion (R1) of a reset pulse to the display following the first shaking pulse (S1), applying a second shaking pulse (S2) to the display following the first portion (R1), and applying a second portion (R2) of the reset pulse to the display following the second shaking pulse (S2). The first portion may have a standard reset duration, while the second portion has an over-reset duration. A visual shock effect is avoided which would otherwise as applied after the entire reset pulse.
