METHOD OF DRIVING ELECTROPHORETIC DISPLAY DEVICE, ELECTROPHORETIC DISPLAY DEVICE, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of driving an electrophoretic display device for suppressing power consumption and eliminating an image without generating a residual image. SOLUTION: In the method of driving the electrophoretic display device that grips an electrophoretic element containing electrophoretic particles between a pair of substrates and has a display section 5 formed of a plurality of pixels 40A, 40B and 40C, an image eliminating step of eliminating an image includes setting an image eliminating region R including at least a pixel 40A displaying a first gradation and forming an image component and a pixel 40B that is arranged adjacent to the pixel forming the contour of the image component and displays a second gradation, and selectively moving the pixels 40A and 40B constituting the image eliminating region R to the second gradation.
