Abstract

A driver (2, 3, 4) for an active matrix display (1) comprises pixels (5) of a bistable material arranged at intersections of select lines (20) and data lines (30) between first electrodes (40) and a second electrodes (50) for receiving a pixel voltage (VP). The driver (2, 3, 4) comprises a select driver (2) which supplies select voltages (VS) to the select lines (20) to select a selected line of the pixels (5) during a line select period (TL). A data driver (3) supplies data signals (DA) to the selected line of pixels (5). A switch circuit (S) selectively couples the data signals (DA) to the associated first electrodes (40) of the selected line of pixels (5). And a controller (4) controls the switch circuit (S): (i) during a first period in time (T1) to select, of the selected line of pixels (5), first selected pixels which should receive the pixel voltage (VP) within a first range for changing their optical state, and (ii) during a second period in time (T2) to select, of the selected line of pixels (5), second selected pixels which should receive the pixel voltage (VP) within a second range different than the first range for changing their optical state.
