CROSS TALK REDUCTION IN ELECTROPHORETIC DISPLAYS

摘要

A method is provided for driving an in-plane switching multi-color electrophoretic display. The display comprises a plurality of pixels and a common electrode for electrically separating the pixels from each other, each of the pixels comprises a pixel electrode for attracting or repelling pigment particles. The method comprises applying a pixel voltage to at least one pixel electrode for obtaining gray values and applying a collector voltage to the common electrode. For each pair of nearest neighbor pixels the pixel voltages applied to at least one of the pixel electrodes is substantially equal to the collector voltage, or the pixel voltages applied to the pixel electrodes are substantially equal to each other. Using the driving method according to the invention, cross talk is reduced.
