  • Patent number: 9323043
    Abstract: To produce a display element for an electrowetting display, there is provided a quantity of fluid which is greater than both the first volume of a display chamber and the second volume of a reservoir chamber, but less than the sum of the first volume and second volume. The fluid is divided into first and second partial drops, the first being introduced into the display chamber, the second being introduced into the reservoir chamber. The display and reservoir chambers are brought together so that a first opening in a first intermediate film of the display chamber and a second opening in a second intermediate film of the reservoir chamber at least partly overlap. An electrical field is applied to the display chamber and to the reservoir chamber, thereby uniting the first partial drop and the second partial drop.

  • Patent number: 8901816
    Abstract: Write in of lower significant bits of a digital video signal to a memory is eliminated by a memory controller of a signal control circuit in a display device during a second display mode in which the number of gray scales is reduced, as compared to a first display mode. Further, read out of the lower significant bits of the digital video signal from the memory is also eliminated. The amount of information of digital image signals input to a source signal line driver circuit is reduced. Corresponding to this operation, a display controller functions to make start pulses and clock pulses input to each driver circuit have a lower frequency, and write in periods and display periods of sub-frame periods participating in display are set longer.
