  • Publication number: 20170337880
    Abstract: A display unit includes an electrophoretic display device in which an optical reflectance varies on a time-series basis depending on an applied voltage, and a drive circuit that performs voltage drive of the electrophoretic display device. The drive circuit applies a first voltage directed to display to the electrophoretic display device over a period of one or more frames, and applies, in the period of one or more frames, a second voltage that is different from the first voltage once or a plurality of times on or after a first point of time at which a derivative value of the optical reflectance reaches a maximum magnitude.
