  • Patent number: 8941694
    Abstract: A method of driving an electro-optic display comprising providing a current source, digitally modulating the current source and generating a modulated digital signal, and converting the modulated digital signal into an effective analog drive signal so that the display pixels receive an effective analog drive current, wherein the internal capacitance of the electro-optic display smooths the digitally modulated signal and generates the effective analog drive signal.

  • Patent number: 8847944
    Abstract: A current matching control apparatus for matching a plurality of current sources and a plurality of current sinks, the plurality of current sinks having a drive current value controlled by a drive processor in accordance with a reference control current and wherein each output of the plurality of current sinks are connected to a common output node; a feedback circuit having an input connected to the common output node and an output connected to the drive processor, wherein the feedback circuit is arranged to match a voltage at the common output node to a reference voltage by communicating a signal to the drive processor to adjust the reference control current.

  • Publication number: 20100259528
    Abstract: A display driver control circuitry and method for controlling a display driver for an electroluminescent display, the display comprising at least one substantially constant current generator for driving the display element, the control circuitry comprising: a drive voltage sensor for sensing a drive voltage on a first line in which the current is regulated by the constant current generator; a reference voltage generator for providing a reference voltage offset from a supply voltage provided from a supply line to the constant current generator; means for determining a difference between the reference voltage and the drive voltage and for generating an adjustment signal, and wherein a voltage controller is configured to adjust the supply voltage responsive to the adjustment signal.
