Abstract: A display control apparatus for controlling an electrophoretic display panel 5 having two types of electrophoretic particles of different color and polarity between electrodes has a display drive circuit 40 for supplying a pulse wave drive signal to apply a drive voltage between the electrodes to change the display color of the electrophoretic display panel to a color between the colors of the electrophoretic particles and display a gray level color, and a control unit 57 for controlling migration of the electrophoretic particles by means of the display drive circuit 40 based on the target display color, which is the display color to which the display is to be changed, and the difference in the migration characteristics of the two types of electrophoretic particles. By considering the migration characteristics of the electrophoretic particles of each color when changing the display color of the electrophoretic display panel, the discordance that can result when changing the display color is reduced.

Abstract: A display device comprising an electrophoretic display panel comprising two types of electrophoretic particles of different color and polarity between electrodes, and a drive unit for supplying a drive signal to apply a drive voltage between the electrodes to switch a display color of the electrophoretic display panel between the colors of the electrophoretic particles. The drive unit supplies a drive signal of which the drive power is changed according to the electrophoretic characteristics when the display color of the electrophoretic display panel is changed in order to change the display color of the electrophoretic display panel.
