Abstract: A display for displaying and storing images comprises an optically addressable electrophoretic display (PD) with a stack of a photoconductive layer (PCF) and an electrophoretic layer (EF) being sandwiched between electrodes (E1, E2). An optical addressing means (AD) supplies addressing light (AL) to the photoconductive layer (PCF). A controller (CO) controls a driver (DR1) to supply a drive voltage (DV) between the electrodes (E1, E2) with a value enabling a change of the optical state of the electrophoretic layer (EF) in response to the addressing light (AL) impinging on the photoconductive layer (PCF). Finally, the power consumption of the optical addressing means (AD) is minimized.
