Specific embodiment
Technical solution of the present invention is described in further detail combined with specific embodiments below, so that the technology of this field
Personnel can better understand the present invention and can be practiced, but illustrated embodiment is not as a limitation of the invention.
With reference to Fig. 1-6, the embodiment of the present invention provides a kind of driving method of electrophoretic display device (EPD), includes the following steps:
It requires to be updated the display image of electrophoretic display device (EPD) using display drive waveforms according to new images;The present embodiment
Middle display drive waveforms are updated including various ways the display image of electrophoretic display device (EPD), such as 1. will currently show image
It removes, black is arrived in driving;2. whole screen drives to white;3. arriving new grayscale by new images requirement driving.
It, will using supplement driving signal after showing that image starts to update (after namely showing that drive waveforms begin to use)
The whole background pixels or edge background pixel of updated display image are driven again to background colour, remaining non-background colour
Grayscale will not change.Such as the background colour of electrophoretic display device (EPD) be white, then using display drive waveforms to image into
Row (refers to after signified update after showing that drive waveforms start update) herein after updating, and uses supplement driving signal will again
White is driven into again after update for the white portion of background colour.
With reference to Fig. 2, the electrophoretic display device (EPD) in the present embodiment is by multiple sub-pixel groups at multiple sub-pixels constitute display figure
As 2 and background pixel 1.Supplement driving signal in the present embodiment be to shown after update image 2 background pixel 1 carry out more
Newly, which can be is driven for updated whole background pixels 1 or edge background pixel 3.
Signified edge background pixel 3 refers to the background pixel 1 around updated display image 2 in the present embodiment.It is being preferably implemented
Show that the pixel of 1-3 subpixel area of image peripheral is known as edge background pixel 3 in example.Supplement driving letter can either be reduced
Number use the time, while can also ensure that and whole ghosts are all realized into elimination.
The driving method of the electrophoretic display device (EPD) of the present embodiment will show image after update by using supplement driving signal
Background pixel is driven again to background colour, can preferably eliminate the ghost that an image leaves, and promotes display effect.This
Embodiment reuses supplement driving signal and is driven, can preferably determine update after display drive waveforms begin to use
The background area of display image afterwards, it is thus possible to realize that the background pixel to new display image carries out secondary refreshing.
After signified display drive waveforms begin to use in the present embodiment, it can be tight after display drive waveforms begin to use
Then updated background colour is driven using supplement driving signal;Such as in one of preferred embodiment, work as display
Drive waveforms are updated the display image of electrophoretic display device (EPD), and update do not complete when, using supplement driving signal will more
The whole background pixels or edge background pixel of display image after new are driven again to background colour.Display drive waveforms are opened
The background pixel of new display image can be determined after beginning use, therefore is able to use supplement driving signal to new display image
Background pixel driven.Supplement driving signal and then show drive waveforms carry out, it is more enough so that electrophoretic display device (EPD) more
New and elimination ghost carries out in succession, and the update of the display image of electrophoretic display device (EPD) is very fast.
In a further advantageous embodiment, after showing that drive waveforms are completed to update to the display image of electrophoretic display device (EPD),
Supplement driving signal is reused to drive whole background pixels of updated display image or edge background pixel again
To background colour, there can be preferable elimination ghost effect.
The driving method of the electrophoretic display device (EPD) of the present embodiment reuses supplement driving after display drive waveforms begin to use
Signal drives whole background pixels of updated display image or edge background pixel again to background colour.It can be compared with
Good elimination residual edge shadows, while relative to the mode for just eliminating ghost before frame updating, it can preferably reduce background sudden strain of a muscle
It is bright, provide the user with more preferably visual experience.
In a preferred embodiment, background colour is black or white.Black/white electrophoretic display is because background color is black-and-white two color
Particle can preferably realize the residual edge shadows eradicating efficacy of black/white electrophoretic display using the driving method of the present embodiment.
In a preferred embodiment, display drive waveforms, which are updated the display image of electrophoretic display device (EPD), is turned over using office's brush
Page mode can further eliminate residual edge shadows.When office's brush refers to current picture page turning to next new picture, if certain of two figures
One same pixel is same gray level, then this pixel does not refresh.Specially the display image of electrophoretic display device (EPD) is by multiple sub-pixel groups
At, when identical with updated grayscale before certain sub-pixel updates, show drive waveforms to the display image of electrophoretic display device (EPD) into
When row updates, the sub-pixel will not be updated.Background flashing can also be eliminated by the way of office's brush page turning, for example, if front and back two
Opening figure background is all white, and when using office's brush mode, background color is essentially not have any gray scale variation, is not flashed, and is promoted
Display effect.And office's brush mode carries out the mode of residual edge shadows elimination with the use of supplement driving signal, so that entire electrophoresis
Display does not have obvious background flashing in the process of update, on the one hand can preferably eliminate residual edge shadows, another
Aspect, which can also reduce background flashing, leads to user's visual fatigue.
