Background technology
Electrophoretic electronic paper was shown due to the advantages of combining plain paper and electronic console, was had become a kind of very heavy
The presentation of information carrier wanted has been widely used for electronical display card, electronic tag, electronic bill-board, electronic paper, soft at present
Property electronic reader etc..Compared with other display technologies, still there is higher comparison when big visual angle and environmental light intensity change very greatly
Degree.With bistable characteristic, after external battery disappears, remain to that image information retention time is allow to be up to more than some months,
It is a kind of display technology having energy conservation and environmental protection characteristic.The grayscale of electrophoretic electronic paper is shown, mainly by being applied to pixel electrode
On contact potential series drive to be formed, this contact potential series is referred to as drive waveforms.
Electrophoretic display technology is reciprocal in the case where adding vertical electric field effect outside by being wrapped in the microcapsules of coloured charged particle
Movement, shows different images.Positively charged black particles and electronegative white particle can be moved down in the control of electric field
It moves to upper surface, to form the pixel of black or white.Therefore, under the influence of certain voltage value, white particles and black
Particle can be moved to certain fixed direction, so as to be worth to a series of grayscale by changing the voltage on pixel electrode.Electricity
Phoretic display adds a TFT backplate, then applies suitable drive waveforms on the electrode.Electrophoretic particles can be driven to show
Different grayscale.
According to before gray value and final gray value directly invoke the drive waveforms in inquiry table apply a driving voltage
Control pixel shows corresponding gray value, when reaching target gray scale, can carry out the activation of black and white particle so that black and white particle is abundant
Mixing improves locomotor activity.However at different temperature, the activity and motion state of particle also differ, and temperature is low, particle
Poor activity, run duration is long, and the total time of designed drive waveforms is also relatively elongated, the ring residing for the electrophoretic electronic display
When border temperature is high, Particles Moving is fast, in contrast the time will shorten, but the structural requirement temperature of particle has certain specific model
It encloses, is more than this particular range, the surface nature of particle can be destroyed.
Currently, in traditional electrophoretic electronic paper drive waveforms, main there are three stage compositions:It wipes original image, swash
The new grayscale of bioplast, display.However, each stage is required to hundreds of milliseconds of time, so that when drive waveforms at this stage
Between length had reached 500ms, seriously affected the response speed of Electronic Paper.For drive waveforms different phase to driving
Effect, it is fully merged, to shorten drive waveforms length.Meanwhile for the different driving wave of different temperatures editor
Shape, can effectively shorten the response time, and carry high display quality.

Below by taking four grayscale as an example, realization process of the present invention is described in detail.
The first step determines total driving time of different temperatures by pulse duration test experiments.Fig. 2 is a kind of preferred
Required total driving duration schematic diagram when corresponding different temperatures.
Specifically, under assigned temperature, design B (black grey scale) → W (white grayscale), W → W and the W of different durations →
B, two groups of waveforms of B → B, are tested respectively.Select B → W, W → W groups reach W grayscale values it is equal when driving duration t1, select W →
B, driving duration t2 when B → B groups arrival B grayscale values are equal.If t1=t2, it is determined that go out best total driving at this temperature
Duration.If t1 ≠ t2, duration interval is adjusted, is retested.
Second step, according to different driving times, editor's erasing part drive waveforms determine that different temperatures reaches black ash
