Abstract: A method is described for driving an electro-optic display having a plurality of display pixels. The method includes updating the electro-optic display with a first image including image data from a first portion of a scrollable content. The method also includes receiving a user input comprising one or more parameters, and generating a second image based on at least one parameter of the user input. The second image includes: a subset of the image data from the first portion of the scrollable content, and image data from a second portion of the scrollable content. The method also includes updating the electro-optic display with the second image.

Abstract: A variety of methods for driving electro-optic displays so as to reduce visible artifacts are described. Such methods includes driving an electro-optic display having a plurality of display pixels and controlled by a display controller, the display controller associated with a host for providing operational instructions to the display controller, the method may include updating the display with a first image, updating the display with a second image subsequent to the first image, processing image data associated with the first image and the second image to identify display pixels with edge artifacts and generate image data associated with the identified pixels, storing the image data associated pixels with edge artifacts at a memory location, and initiating a waveform to clear the edge artifacts.

Abstract: A method of driving a multi-pixel electrophoretic display that is designed to enable at least three colors, e.g., eight, at each pixel. This method uses a first drive scheme capable of effecting transitions between all of the color states that can be displayed at each pixel; and a second drive scheme that contains only transitions ending at white or black, which is very useful for drawing black lines on a white page, reading black text on a white page, or reading white text on a black page. In order to control the amount of impulse potential accumulated at each pixel during the switch between drive modes, two intermediate transitional modes are added.

Abstract: Improved electrophoretic media including a first particle of a first polarity and three particles of the opposite polarity, wherein the first particle and optionally one of the particles of the opposite polarity undergo a diminution of electrophoretic mobility with increased electric field. Such electrophoretic media enable full-color displays with very fast updates between white and black pixels.
