20120032934METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DRIVING A BISTABLE NEMATIC DOT-MATRIX LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY PANEL - Voltage consumption during flashing of a frame is suppressed. Under a state in which an image is written and held, when a waveform of low voltage at low frequency is applied to the whole surface of a bistable liquid crystal display panel, the liquid crystal molecules are inclined to some extent, if not to the state vertical to a substrate, and the frame displays gray close to white. After that, when the voltage application is stopped, the image displayed before the application appears because the orientation state of the bistable liquid crystal display panel is not broken. By utilizing this phenomenon, a state of applying the waveform of low voltage at low frequency and a non-application state are repeated at a given time interval, and hence the frame can be flashed with low power consumption.02-09-2012
