Patent number: 10678111Abstract: An electrophoretic medium comprises a fluid, a first, light scattering particle (typically white) and second, third and fourth particles having three subtractive primary colors (typically magenta, cyan and yellow); at least two of these colored particles being non-light scattering. The first and second particles bear polymer coatings such that the electric field required to separate an aggregate formed by the third and the fourth particles is greater than that required to separate an aggregate formed from any other two types of particles. Methods for driving the medium to produce white, black, magenta, cyan, yellow, red, green and blue colors are also described.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2017Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: E Ink CorporationInventors: Stephen J. Telfer, Stephen Bull, Jennifer M. Morrison, Luke M. Slominski, David Darrell Miller, Olga Vladimirova Barykina-Tassa, Christopher L. Hoogeboom, Ana L. Lattes, Lee Yezek, Brandon MacDonald, Kosta Ladavac, Craig A. Herb

Patent number: 10593272Abstract: A method for driving an electro-optic display having a front electrode, a backplane, and a display medium including at least three differently-colored particles, wherein the medium is positioned between the front electrode and the backplane. The method includes applying a reset phase and a color transition phase to the display such that the sum of all impulses results in an offset that maintains a DC-balance across the display medium. The invention additionally includes controllers for executing the method.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2018Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: E Ink CorporationInventors: Stephen J. Telfer, Christopher L. Hoogeboom, Kenneth R. Crounse

Publication number: 20200035171Abstract: An electrophoretic display comprising a fluid including a first species of particles and a charge control agent disposed between first and second electrodes. When a first addressing impulse have an electrical polarity is applied to the medium, the first species of particles move in one direction relative to the electric field, but when a second addressing impulse, larger than the first addressing impulse but having the same electrical polarity, is applied to the medium, the first species of particles move in the opposed direction relative to the electric field.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2019Publication date: January 30, 2020Inventors: Stephen J. TELFER, Stephen BULL, Alain BOUCHARD, Craig A. HERB, Kosta LADAVAC, Ana L. LATTES, Jennifer M. MORRISON, Richard J. PAOLINI, JR., Michael Thomas REGAN, Luke M. SLOMINSKI, Lee YEZEK, Kenneth R.

Patent number: 10276109Abstract: A method for driving an electro-optic display having a front electrode, a backplane and a display medium positioned between the front electrode and the backplane, the method comprising of applying a first driving phase to the display medium, the first driving phase having a first signal and a second signal, the first signal having a first polarity, a first amplitude as a function of time, and a first duration, the second signal succeeding the first signal and having a second polarity opposite to the first polarity, a second amplitude as a function of time, and a second duration, such that the sum of the first amplitude as a function of time integrated over the first duration and the second amplitude as a function of time integrated over the second duration produces a first impulse offset. The method further comprising applying a second driving phase to the display medium, the second driving phase produces a second impulse offset, wherein the sum of the first and second impulse offset is substantially zero.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2017Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: E Ink CorporationInventors: Kenneth R.
