Abstract: A data driver for an electrophoretic display (EPD) includes multiple driver sub-circuits. Each of the driver sub-circuits includes first and second latches, first and second capacitors, a multiplexer and a comparator. The first and second latches respectively provide updated latch image data and current latch image data in response to original image data.
