Abstract

An electro-optic display having a plurality of pixels divided into a plurality of groups is driven by selecting each of the plurality of groups of pixels in succession and applying to each of the pixels in the selected group either a drive voltage or a non-drive voltage, the scanning of all the groups of pixels being completed in a first frame period; repeating the scanning of the groups of pixels during a second frame period, and interrupting the scanning of the groups of pixels during a pause period between the first and second frame periods, this pause period being not longer than the first or second frame period.
