The present invention relates to an electrophoretic display device, and more particularly, to an electrophoretic display device driving system and an electrophoretic display device which compensate for a phenomenon in which an electrophoretic display device exhibits fade- And a fade-off compensating method according to the waiting time of the display device.
An electrophoretic display device (EPD) is an apparatus that displays an image using an electrophoresis phenomenon in which colored charged particles move by an electric field applied from the outside. Such an electrophoretic display device has a bi-stable property, so that even if the applied voltage is removed, the original image can be preserved for a long time. That is, the electrophoretic display device is particularly suitable for an electronic book field in which fast switching of images is not required, because a constant image can be maintained for a long time without continuously applying a voltage. In addition, the electrophoretic display device has an advantage that it is not dependent on a viewing angle, unlike a liquid crystal display device, and can provide a comfortable image to the eye in a degree similar to paper.
FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a general electrophoretic display device displaying a black image, and FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a case where a conventional electrophoretic display device displays a white image.

FIG. 3A shows a gray-to-gray waveform used to switch from the previous image corresponding to the entire 16 gradation ranges to the next image corresponding to the 16th gradation (white gradation), and FIG. 3B shows a gray- Gray level waveform used for switching from the previous image to the next image corresponding to the first gradation (black gradation), and FIG. 3C shows the gray-to-gray waveform used for switching from the previous image corresponding to the entire 16 gradation ranges to the seventh gradation And FIG. 3D shows gray-to-gray waveforms used for switching from the previous image corresponding to the entire 16 gray-scale ranges to the next image corresponding to the 15th gray-scale, Wave form.
The first gradation is a black gradation. The black gradation is set to the 0th gradation and the white gradation is set to the 15th gradation in the case of all the 16 gradation ranges, but in this specification, the black gradation is set to the first gradation and the white gradation to the 16th gradation Explain. 3A to 3D, the X axis direction indicates a switching time T for switching from the previous image to the next image. 3A to 3D denote the case where a positive voltage is applied to the
Thus, in order to express 16 gray, a total of 256 gray-gray waveform information should be stored in the look-up table in 16 gray-scale ranges of the previous image and 16 gray-scale ranges of the next image.

As described above, the electrophoretic display device is produced by forming the first charged particles (black) charged with the positive (+) and the second charged particles (white) charged with the negative (-) in the form of a capsule or a cup, (C) generated by the difference between the voltage applied to the pixel electrode (121) and the voltage applied to the pixel electrode (112).

However, if waiting for about 300 seconds, the black and white areas are faded off in different directions and the next black image is updated. The ghosting phenomenon of the mosaic type occurs because the reflectance of the image does not reach the desired target.
