A multiplex electrophoretic display driver circuit comprises a memory unit, a display controller and a voltage driving unit. The memory unit has two registers respectively storing the current and former gray-level matrix signals. The gray-level matrix signal contains gray-level data corresponding to electrophoretic pixels. The display controller has an encoding circuit and a counting circuit. The encoding circuit generates a difference-value matrix signal containing difference values according to a difference between the current and former gray-level matrix signals and then generates a voltage-difference matrix signal containing voltage-difference signals corresponding to the electrophoretic pixels. The counting circuit receives the difference-value matrix signal and counts to generate refreshing values corresponding to the difference values. The encoding circuit adds the refreshing values to a next-cycled difference-value matrix signal to generate a new voltage-difference matrix signal. The voltage driving unit drives the electrophoretic pixels according to the voltage-difference matrix signal.

A frequency conversion correction circuit for an electrophoretic display (EPD) which has a control circuit to capture pixel signals of a next picture and gets a corresponding update signal from a look up table to be output, and a driving circuit to provide a plurality set of potential difference signals corresponding to a plurality set of electrodes of an EPD panel according to the update signal. The EPD further has an environment detection device and a duty frequency judgment unit. The environment detection device detects the operation environments of the EPD and gets an environment parameter. The duty frequency judgment unit compares the preset signal value sections where the environment parameter is located and generates a duty frequency signal and sends to the driving circuit. The driving circuit changes and outputs the frequency of the potential difference signals in a fixed frame time according to the duty frequency signal.

This application is directed to driving methods for electrophoretic displays. More specifically, the methods are suitable where there is a requirement for a partial update of the images in the display, where a partial update means that less than 10% of the pixels require updating. An essential element of the method is a floating common electrode. This method for partial updating may be used with the prior art driving techniques in order to provide the optimum updating method for different applications.

A circuit for amplifying a display signal transmitted to a repair line by using a non-inverting amplifier is disclosed, which comprises a voltage follower, a non-inverting amplifier, a repair line, a thin film transistor (TFT) and a liquid crystal (LC) capacitor. The voltage follower is electrically connected to a data driver chip to thereby provide a display signal to the non-inverting amplifier. The non-inverting amplifier amplifies the display signal to thus obtain an amplified display signal, and transmits the amplified display signal to the TFT and the LC capacitor through the repair line. The amplified display signal is kept at a desired voltage level when the LC capacitor receives the amplified display signal.
