Patent number: 8928641Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2009Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: SIPIX Technology Inc.Inventors: Wen-Pin Chiu, Ping-Yueh Cheng, Feng-Shou Lin, Craig Lin, Bryan Chan

Patent number: 8576259Abstract: This application is directed to driving methods for electrophoretic displays. More specifically, the methods are suitable where there is a requirement for a partial update of the images in the display, where a partial update means that less than 10% of the pixels require updating. An essential element of the method is a floating common electrode. This method for partial updating may be used with the prior art driving techniques in order to provide the optimum updating method for different applications.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2010Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: Sipix Imaging, Inc.Inventors: Feng-Shou Lin, Wen-Pin Chiu, Craig Lin, Tin Pham
