  • Sequential addressing of displays
    Patent number: 8866733
    Abstract: A display device includes a row driver configured to provide a row voltage, and a row electrode connected to the row driver. A column driver is configured to provide a column voltage to a column electrode. Further, a common driver is configured to provide a common electrode that includes a negative level. In addition, a controller is configured to switch the common electrode between at least two levels when all rows have a non-select level of the row voltage. The controller may be further configured to switch the common electrode at a substantially same time and with a substantially same voltage swing as a storage voltage of a storage capacitor.

  • Electrophoretic display unit and method for driving an electrophoretic display panel
    Patent number: 8860658
    Abstract: An electrophoretic display unit is presented that comprises an electrophoretic display panel (1). A medium (5) having embedded therein a plurality of electrophoretic display elements (7) is controlled by a first and a second pixel electrode (22b, 6). In addition a sensor constructed to generate a signal (ST) indicative for a temperature of the display panel and a driver (15) for driving the display panel (1) is provided. The sensor (250) includes a resistance sensor constructed to detect a resistance of the medium (5) between a first (22c) and a second sensor electrode (6), and the driver is controllable according to the resistance detected by the resistance sensor.

  • Sequential addressing of displays
    Patent number: 8599128
    Abstract: A display device (500) includes a row driver (520) configured to provide a row voltage, and a row electrode (320) connected to the row driver (520). A column driver (530) is configured to provide a column voltage to a column electrode (330). Further, a common driver (570) is configured to provide a common electrode (170) that includes a negative level. In addition, a controller (515) is configured to switch the common electrode (170) between at least two levels when all rows have a non-select level of the row voltage. The controller (515) may be further configured to switch the common electrode (170) at a substantially same time and with a substantially same voltage swing as a storage voltage of a storage capacitor.
