    摘要: A method is provided of driving an electronic device comprising an array of device elements, each device element comprising particles which are moved to control a device element state, and each device element comprising a collector electrode, and an output electrode. The method comprises: in a reset phase, applying a first set of control signals to control the device to move the particles to the a reset electrode; and in an addressing phase, applying a second set of control signals to control the device to move the particles from the reset electrode such that a desired number of particles are at the output electrode. The second set of control signals comprises a pulse waveform oscillating between first and second voltages in which the first voltage is for attracting the particles to the reset electrode and the second voltage is for attracting the particles from the reset electrode to the output electrode, and wherein the duty cycle of the pulse waveform determines the proportion of particles transferred to the output electrode in the addressing phase. This control method provides well-controlled packets of particles which are collected in a vortex at the reset electrode before being passed on, in part, towards the output electrode (for example via the gate electrode).

    摘要: A driving circuit for driving an in-plane moving particle device has a pixel (P) comprising movable charged particles (PA). The pixel (P) has a reservoir electrode (RE), a display electrode (DE), and a gate electrode (GE) laterally placed in-between the reservoir electrode (RE) and the display electrode (DE). The driving circuit (DC) comprises a driver (DR), a controller (CO) which receives an input signal (OS) representing an image to be displayed on the moving particle device. The controller (CO) controls the driver (DR) to supply a first voltage difference (VD1) between the reservoir electrode (RE) and the gate electrode (GE) and a second voltage difference (VD2) between the gate electrode (GE) and the display electrode (DE). The image is written to the pixel (P) during a write phase (TW) by moving particles (PA) from the reservoir electrode (RE) via the gate electrode (GE) to the display electrode (DE) if the optical state of the pixel (P) should change in conformity with the image. If during the write phase (TW) the optical state of the pixel (P) should not change, the first voltage difference (VD1) has a first write level and the second voltage difference (VD2) has a second write level, both write levels are selected to repulse the particles (PA) from the gate electrode (GE). During a repulsion period (TR), the first voltage difference (VD1) has a level more repulsive to the particles than the first write level, and/or the second voltage difference (VD2) has a level more repulsive than the second write level.
