摘要:
There is provided a method for initializing an image display medium. The image display medium includes a pair of substrates, a common electrode, pixel electrodes that are arranged for respective pixels constituting rows and columns on the other substrate, a display layer in which groups of moving particles that move between the substrates in accordance with an electric field are dispersed in a dispersion medium enclosed between the substrates, and transistors that are connected to the pixel electrodes, respectively. Each transistor controls a voltage to be applied to the corresponding pixel. The method includes a first procedure of applying voltages to the source electrodes of the transistors of all the pixels collectively, and a second procedure of applying voltages to the gate electrodes of the transistors of all the pixels collectively while continuing the applying of the voltages in the first procedure.
