| 20110128266 | MULTIPLEX ELECTROPHORETIC DISPLAY DRIVER CIRCUIT - A multiplex electrophoretic display driver circuit comprises a memory unit, a display controller and a voltage driving unit. The memory unit has two registers respectively storing the current and former gray-level matrix signals. The gray-level matrix signal contains gray-level data corresponding to electrophoretic pixels. The display controller has an encoding circuit and a counting circuit. The encoding circuit generates a difference-value matrix signal containing difference values according to a difference between the current and former gray-level matrix signals and then generates a voltage-difference matrix signal containing voltage-difference signals corresponding to the electrophoretic pixels. The counting circuit receives the difference-value matrix signal and counts to generate refreshing values corresponding to the difference values. The encoding circuit adds the refreshing values to a next-cycled difference-value matrix signal to generate a new voltage-difference matrix signal. The voltage driving unit drives the electrophoretic pixels according to the voltage-difference matrix signal. | 06-02-2011 |
| 20110175875 | DRIVING METHODS WITH VARIABLE FRAME TIME - The present invention is directed to driving waveforms and a driving method for an electrophoretic display. The method and waveforms have the advantage that the changes in the driving voltages due to the shift are minimized. In addition, the overall driving time for the waveforms is also shortened due to the shortened driving frames. There are no additional data points required as the number of the driving frames remains the same. Therefore, the power consumption is nearly identical with the waveform having driving frames of a fixed frame time. | 07-21-2011 |
