Methods and systems are provided for efficiently selectively updating multiple-region flexible displays. In an embodiment, multiple regions of a display material each have a common conductor along a first surface and a patterned set of conductors along a second surface. A control circuit includes a separate conductive trace to each common conductor, such that the control circuit can selectively apply known voltages to the common conductors, as well as a single set of driver lines to all of the patterned sets of conductors, such that any sets of signals sent to any of the patterned sets of conductors are received by all of the patterned sets of conductors. The control circuit is used to selectively apply electric fields between the common conductor and the patterned set of conductors of a subset of the regions, so as to selectively update an appearance of the subset of the regions.
