Patent number: 11984090Abstract: The present invention provides four-particle electrophoretic displays with improved driving methods to achieve better color separation between adjacent pixel electrodes. The driving methods improve the color state performance when a first pixel is displaying a mixed state of a first highly-charged particle and a second lower-charged particle of the opposite polarity, while a neighboring pixel is displaying a state of a second highly-charged particle having the opposite polarity to the first highly-charged particle. The particles can be, for example, all reflective or one type of particle can be partially light transmissive.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: E Ink CorporationInventors: Chih-Yu Cheng, Craig Lin, Ning-Wei Jan, Chen-Kai Chiu, Feng-Shou Lin
