Display medium driver, non-transitory computer-readable medium, display device, and method of driving display medium

摘要

A display medium driver includes a translucent display substrate, a rear substrate that is opposed to the display substrate with a gap interposed therebetween, a dispersion medium enclosed between the substrates, a first particle group dispersed in the dispersion medium so as to migrate by applying a first voltage across the substrates, and a second particle group dispersed in the dispersion medium so as to migrate by applying a second voltage across the substrates, the driver including a setting unit setting a voltage value and a voltage application time of the first voltage with which the first particle group does not migrate at the time of causing the second particle group to migrate depending on a display density of the second particle group and a voltage application unit first applying the first voltage across the substrates and then applying the second voltage across the substrates.

1. A display medium driver comprising:
a setting unit; and a voltage application unit; wherein the display medium driver controls a display medium including a pair of substrates, a dispersion medium that is enclosed between the substrates, a first particle group that is dispersed in the dispersion medium and that migrates by applying a first voltage having an absolute value that is equal to or greater than a first threshold value across the substrates, and a second particle group, having a color different from the first particle group, that is dispersed in the dispersion medium and that migrates by applying a second voltage having an absolute value that is equal to or greater than a second threshold value less than the first threshold value across the substrates, wherein the setting unit set a voltage value and voltage application time of the first voltage from a plurality of predetermined pairs of a voltage value and voltage application time of the first voltage when making the second particle group migrate by applying the second voltage after making the first particle group migrate by applying the first voltage, wherein the voltage value and the voltage application time set by the setting unit are selected from pairs which does not make the first particle group migrate even if the second voltage is applied after the first voltage is applied and the pair set by the setting unit has a lowest drive energy in the pairs which does not make the first particle group migrate, and wherein the voltage application unit that first applied the first voltage set by the setting unit across the substrates and then applies the second voltage across the substrates.
