Description

電泳顯示裝置及其驅動方法 Electrophoretic display device and driving method thereof

本發明係關於一種顯示裝置及其驅動方法,特別關於一種電泳顯示裝置及其驅動方法。 The present invention relates to a display device and a driving method thereof, and more particularly to an electrophoretic display device and a driving method thereof.

非揮發型顯示裝置(Non-Volatile Type Display Apparatus),是指具有雙穩態(Bi-Stable States)或多穩態的顯示裝置,在不供應電源的情況下,非揮發型顯示裝置仍能維持在其中一穩態至少數百毫秒的時間,因此,與揮發型顯示裝置相較,非揮發型顯示裝置較能夠節省耗電量。 A non-volatile display device (Non-Volatile Type Display Apparatus) refers to a display device with a bi-stable state or a multi-stable state. The non-volatile display device can be maintained without supplying power. In one of the states of steady state for at least several hundred milliseconds, the non-volatile display device is more capable of saving power consumption than the volatile display device.

以電泳性(electrophoretic)顯示裝置為例,習知的一種電泳性顯示裝置主要包含一顯示模組及一驅動模組。驅動模組可產生驅動訊號並傳送至顯示模組,以驅動顯示模組顯示畫面。顯示模組一般包含上、下基板、一畫素電極層、一共同電極層、一電泳性材料及一黏著層。其中,共同電極層設置於上基板,而畫素電極層設置下基板,並透過可導電的黏著層將非揮發型顯示材料黏著於下基板上,使得電泳性材料夾置於畫素電極層與共同電極層之間。當驅動訊號驅動顯示模組顯示畫面時,係透過畫素電極層與共同電極層之間所產生的電場驅使電泳性材料的帶電粒子移動至定位,以對應顯示影像畫面。 Taking an electrophoretic display device as an example, a conventional electrophoretic display device mainly includes a display module and a driving module.

請分別參照圖1A及圖1B所示,其中,圖1A為本發明第一實施例之一種電泳顯示裝置1的示意圖,而圖1B為圖1A中,直線A-A的剖面示意圖。 1A and FIG. 1B, FIG. 1A is a schematic diagram of an electrophoretic display device 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view of the line A-A of FIG. 1A.

電泳顯示裝置1包括一顯示模組11以及一驅動模組12。 The electrophoretic display device 1 includes a display module 11 and a driving module 12 .

The material of the lower substrate 111 may be resin, ceramic or glass. Here, glass is taken as an example. In addition, the upper substrate 115 may be flexible or inflexible, and may be made of resin, ceramic or glass. Herein, the material of the upper substrate 115 may be the same as or different from the material of the lower substrate 111. In addition, the non-volatile display material 114 is located between the upper substrate 115 and the lower substrate 111. The non-volatile display material 114 of the present embodiment contains an electrophoretic substance, and is, for example, a plurality of charged particles C suspended in a dielectric solution L. In this embodiment, the display panel DP may further have a receiving structure 117, and the receiving structure 117 may have a plurality of micro-cups or a plurality of microcapsules. The accommodating structure 117 of the embodiment is exemplified by a plurality of microcups, and the charged particles C are suspended in the dielectric solution L, and the charged particles C and the dielectric solution L are accommodated in the microcups. Inside.

共同電極層116設置於非揮發型顯示材料114及上基板115之間,並相對下基板111之該些畫素電極113設置。其中,共同電極層116與畫素電極113的材質例如可分別為銦錫氧化物(ITO)、銦鋅氧化物(IZO)、鋁鋅氧化物(AZO)、鎵鋅氧化物(GZO)或氧化鋅(ZnO)等,並不限定。此外,黏著層112設置於非揮發型顯示材料114及該些畫素電極113之間,黏著層112可黏合容置有非揮發型顯示材料114的容置結構117及該些畫素電極113於下基板111上。其中,黏著層112的電阻值相當低,使畫素被驅動時所產生的電場較大而可快速地驅動帶電粒子C。 The common electrode layer 116 is disposed between the non-volatile display material 114 and the upper substrate 115 and disposed opposite to the pixel electrodes 113 of the lower substrate 111.

Among them, the resistance value of the adhesive layer 112 is relatively low, so that the electric field generated when the pixel is driven is large and the charged particles C can be quickly driven.

因此,當掃描驅動電路121輸出之掃描訊號而控制該些掃描線S開啟時,資料驅動電路122對應輸出之資料訊號可使共同電極層116及畫素電極113之間具有一電壓差,使帶電粒子C可被驅使移動而反射環境光線,進而呈現帶電粒子C或是介電溶液L之顏色而顯示影像畫面。 Therefore, when the scan signal outputted by the scan driving circuit 121 is controlled to turn on the scan lines S, the data driving signal corresponding to the data driving circuit 122 can cause a voltage difference between the common electrode layer 116 and the pixel electrode 113 to be charged. The particles C can be driven to move and reflect the ambient light, thereby presenting the color of the charged particles C or the dielectric solution L to display an image.

舉例而言,如圖2A所示,掃描線S的數量n例如為16條(第一條以S1表示,…第16條以S16表示),並分別連接至顯示面板DP。其中,該些掃描線S被區分為複數區(例如4區),每一區例如有4條掃描線(b=4),並分別為S1~S4、S5~S8、S9~S12及S13~S16。另外,本實施例中,c例如為2,表示掃描訊號重覆輸入該區二次。另外,s不大於b,即s≦b。於此,s例如為4,表示某一區結束掃描後,往下移4條掃描線,因此,s=b=4。不過,在其它的實施例中,s與b可不相等,例如s=3,表示某一區結束掃描後,只往下移3條掃描線。因此,上述n、b、c及s的數量只是舉例,設計者當然可利用本發明的概念應用於不同數量的n、b、c、s。 For example, as shown in FIG. 2A, the number n of scan lines S is, for example, 16 (the first strip is denoted by S1, ... the 16th strip is denoted by S16), and is respectively connected to the display panel DP. The scan lines S are divided into a plurality of regions (for example, four regions), and each region has, for example, four scan lines (b=4), and is respectively S1~S4, S5~S8, S9~S12, and S13~. S16. In addition, in the embodiment, c is, for example, 2, indicating that the scanning signal is repeatedly input to the area twice. In addition, s is not greater than b, ie s≦b. Here, s is, for example, 4, indicating that after a certain area ends scanning, four scanning lines are moved downward, and therefore, s=b=4. However, in other embodiments, s and b may not be equal, for example, s=3, indicating that after scanning for a certain area, only three scanning lines are moved down. Therefore, the above numbers of n, b, c, and s are merely examples, and the designer can of course apply the concepts of the present invention to different numbers of n, b, c, s.

由上述可知,k=0時,掃描驅動電路121輸出之掃描訊號係由第一條掃描線S1(1+0×4)依序輸入並開啟到第四條掃描線S4(4+0×4),此時,資料訊號係輸入該些掃描線S1~S4對應的畫素電極113。於習知技術中,掃描訊號會繼續輸出並開啟第五條掃描線S5、第六條掃描線S6…,不過,本實施例並未開啟第五條掃描線S5,而是輸出掃描訊號再次由第一條掃描線S1依序開啟到第四條掃描線S4,此時,資料訊號再次輸入該些掃描線S1~S4對應的畫素電極113。換言之,掃描驅動電路121輸出掃描訊號自第一條掃描線S1到第四條掃描線S4之後,再重覆對第一條掃描線S1到第四條掃描線S4輸出一次掃描訊號(亦即c=2)。 It can be seen from the above that when k=0, the scanning signal outputted by the scan driving circuit 121 is sequentially input by the first scanning line S1 (1+0×4) and turned on to the fourth scanning line S4 (4+0×4). At this time, the data signal is input to the pixel electrodes 113 corresponding to the scan lines S1 to S4. In the prior art, the scan signal continues to output and turn on the fifth scan line S5 and the sixth scan line S6..., however, the fifth scan line S5 is not turned on in this embodiment, but the scan signal is output again. The first scanning line S1 is sequentially turned on to the fourth scanning line S4. At this time, the data signals are again input to the pixel electrodes 113 corresponding to the scanning lines S1 to S4. In other words, the scan driving circuit 121 outputs a scan signal from the first scan line S1 to the fourth scan line S4, and then repeatedly outputs a scan signal to the first scan line S1 to the fourth scan line S4 (ie, c) =2).

接著,將0(k)加上1,使得新的k=1時,掃描驅動電路121 輸出之掃描訊號由第五條掃描線S5(1+1×4)依序輸入並開啟到第八條掃描線S8(4+1×4),此時,資料訊號輸入該些掃描線S5~S8對應的畫素電極113,之後,掃描驅動電路121並未對第九條掃描線S9輸出掃描訊號,而是輸出掃描訊號再次由第五條掃描線S5依序開啟到第八條掃描線S8,此時,資料訊號再次輸入該些掃描線S5~S8對應的畫素電極113。換言之,掃描驅動電路121輸出掃描訊號開啟第五條掃描線S5到第八條掃描線S8之後,再重覆對第五條掃描線S5到第八條掃描線S8輸出一次掃描訊號(c=2)。接著1(k)加上1,使得新的k=2、新的k=3,且以此類推重覆掃描,不再贅述。 Next, 0(k) is incremented by 1, so that when k=1 is new, the scan driving circuit 121 The output scan signal is sequentially input by the fifth scan line S5 (1+1×4) and turned on to the eighth scan line S8 (4+1×4). At this time, the data signal is input to the scan lines S5~ S8 corresponds to the pixel electrode 113. Thereafter, the scan driving circuit 121 does not output the scan signal to the ninth scan line S9, but the output scan signal is sequentially turned on by the fifth scan line S5 to the eighth scan line S8. At this time, the data signal is again input to the pixel electrodes 113 corresponding to the scan lines S5 to S8. In other words, the scan driving circuit 121 outputs the scan signal to turn on the fifth scan line S5 to the eighth scan line S8, and then repeatedly outputs a scan signal to the fifth scan line S5 to the eighth scan line S8 (c=2). ). Then 1(k) is added to 1, so that the new k=2, the new k=3, and the repeated scans are repeated, and will not be described again.

因此,一個圖框時間(frame time)內,掃描線S依序被掃 描驅動電路121驅動及開啟的順序是:S1~S4、S1~S4、S5~S8、S5~S8、S9~S12、S9~S12、S13~S16及S13~S16。以60Hz為例,習知的掃描訊號的週期為1/60秒(圖框時間為1/60秒),故對每一條掃描線而言,其1/60秒會被開啟一次(此時對應的資料訊號輸入畫素電極),但是由於相鄰畫素之畫素電極會產生相互耦合、干擾,進而影響畫素電極之電位而使帶電粒子C無法被正確地移動至應有的位置上。但是,本實施例於圖框時間不變的情況下,如圖2B所示,掃描訊號的掃描週期T為1÷(60×n/b)=1÷(60×16/4)=1/240秒,比習知技術快了3倍,故與習知相較,雖然相鄰畫素電極還是會互相干擾,但如圖2C所示,畫素P之畫素電極113可於1/240秒被資料電壓輸入一次,一個圖框時間內可被輸入兩次,故可使畫素電極113的電位比較可以被維持,因此,可改善兩相鄰畫素電極之間因訊號耦合干擾所引起的顯示品質不佳的狀況。 Therefore, within a frame time, the scan lines S are sequentially scanned. The driving and opening sequence of the driving circuit 121 is: S1~S4, S1~S4, S5~S8, S5~S8, S9~S12, S9~S12, S13~S16 and S13~S16. Taking 60Hz as an example, the period of the conventional scanning signal is 1/60 second (the frame time is 1/60 second), so for each scanning line, 1/60 second will be turned on once (corresponding to this time) The data signal is input to the pixel electrode), but the pixel electrodes of adjacent pixels may cause mutual coupling and interference, thereby affecting the potential of the pixel electrode, so that the charged particle C cannot be correctly moved to the proper position. However, in the case where the frame time does not change in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2B, the scanning period T of the scanning signal is 1 ÷ (60 × n / b) = 1 ÷ (60 × 16 / 4) = 1 / 240 seconds, 3 times faster than the conventional technology, so compared with the conventional, although the adjacent pixel electrodes will still interfere with each other, as shown in FIG. 2C, the pixel electrode 113 of the pixel P can be 1/240. The second is input by the data voltage once, and can be input twice in one frame time, so that the potential comparison of the pixel electrodes 113 can be maintained, thereby improving the signal coupling interference between the two adjacent pixel electrodes. The display shows poor quality conditions.

但是,上述的掃描過程中,下一區的第一條掃描線對應的畫 素電極113仍然會干擾上一區最後一條掃描線對應的畫素電極113(例如S5影響S4、S9影響S8、S13影響S12),因此,仍會因相鄰畫素電極113的訊號干擾問題而於兩區的交界處產生亮暗條紋的問題。 However, in the above scanning process, the corresponding drawing of the first scanning line of the next zone The prime electrode 113 still interferes with the pixel electrode 113 corresponding to the last scan line of the previous region (for example, S5 affects S4, S9 affects S8, and S13 affects S12), and therefore, the signal interference problem of the adjacent pixel electrode 113 is still caused. A problem of bright and dark stripes is produced at the junction of the two zones.

為了解決此問題,請參照圖3A所示,其為本發明第二實施例之顯示模組11a的該些掃描線S的分區示意圖。 In order to solve this problem, please refer to FIG. 3A , which is a schematic diagram of partitioning of the scan lines S of the display module 11 a according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

與上述相同的是,掃描線的S的數量n一樣例如為16條, 並被區分為4區,每一區有4條掃描線(b=4)。另外,本實施例中,c例如為2,表示重覆輸入掃描訊號二次,而s例如為2,表示一區結束掃描後,往下移2條掃描線,因此,s<b。本實施例之顯示模組11a更可具有多數條第一虛擬掃描線及多數條第二虛擬掃描線,該些第一虛擬掃描線及該些第二虛擬掃描線的數量等於(b-s)=2,故如圖3A所示,該些第一虛擬掃描線的代號分別為DS11及DS12,且該些第二虛擬掃描線的代號分別為DS21及DS22。當然,當s與b改變時,該些第一虛擬掃描線及該些第二虛擬掃描線的數量也跟著改變。 The same as above, the number n of S of the scanning lines is, for example, 16 pieces. It is divided into 4 zones, each zone has 4 scan lines (b=4). In addition, in the present embodiment, c is, for example, 2, indicating that the scanning signal is input twice, and s is, for example, 2, indicating that after one area ends scanning, two scanning lines are moved downward, and therefore, s<b. The display module 11a of the embodiment may further have a plurality of first dummy scan lines and a plurality of second dummy scan lines, and the number of the first dummy scan lines and the second dummy scan lines is equal to (bs)=2 Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3A, the codes of the first virtual scan lines are DS11 and DS12, respectively, and the codes of the second virtual scan lines are DS21 and DS22, respectively. Of course, when s and b are changed, the number of the first virtual scan lines and the second virtual scan lines also changes.

因此,於第二實施例中,當k=0時,掃描訊號於輸入第一 條掃描線S1之前,掃描訊號會先依序輸入該些第一虛擬掃描線DS11、DS12後,再依序輸入並開啟第一條掃描線S1及第二條掃描線S2(s=2)。之後,掃描驅動電路並未對第三條掃描線S3輸出掃描訊號,而是再次輸出掃描訊號依序輸入該些第一虛擬掃描線DS11~第二條掃描線S2。換言之,掃描驅動電路輸出掃描訊號自第一虛擬掃描線DS11、DS12開啟到第一條掃描線S1及第二條掃描線S2之後,再重覆對第一虛擬掃描線DS11、DS12、第一條掃描線S1及第二條掃描線S2輸出一次(c=2),此時,第一條掃描線S1及第二條掃描線S2被開啟二次。 Therefore, in the second embodiment, when k=0, the scan signal is input first. Before the scanning line S1, the scanning signal first inputs the first virtual scanning lines DS11 and DS12 in sequence, and then sequentially inputs and turns on the first scanning line S1 and the second scanning line S2 (s=2). Thereafter, the scan driving circuit does not output the scan signal to the third scan line S3, but outputs the scan signal again to sequentially input the first dummy scan line DS11 to the second scan line S2. In other words, the scan driving circuit outputs the scan signal from the first dummy scan lines DS11, DS12 to the first scan line S1 and the second scan line S2, and then repeats the first dummy scan lines DS11, DS12, and the first strip. The scanning line S1 and the second scanning line S2 are output once (c=2). At this time, the first scanning line S1 and the second scanning line S2 are turned on twice.

接著,掃描驅動電路輸出之掃描訊號係由第一條掃描線S1 (1+0×2)依序輸入並開啟到第四條掃描線S4(4+0×2),之後,掃描驅動電路再次輸出掃描訊號由第一條掃描線S1依序開啟到第四條掃描線S4。換言之,掃描驅動電路輸出掃描訊號開啟第一條掃描線S1到第四條掃描線S4之後,再重覆對第一條掃描線S1到第四條掃描線S4輸出一次(c=2)。之後,k的值依序加1…,使得新的k=1、2、3…6,其重覆掃描情況可以此類推。 Then, the scan signal output by the scan driving circuit is determined by the first scan line S1 (1+0×2) is sequentially input and turned on to the fourth scanning line S4 (4+0×2), after which the scan driving circuit outputs the scanning signal again from the first scanning line S1 to the fourth Scan line S4. In other words, after the scan driving circuit outputs the scan signal to turn on the first scan line S1 to the fourth scan line S4, the scan is repeated for the first scan line S1 to the fourth scan line S4 (c=2). After that, the value of k is sequentially added to 1... so that the new k=1, 2, 3...6, and the repeated scanning situation can be deduced.

當k=7時,掃描驅動電路輸出之掃描訊號係由第十五條掃 描線S15(1+7×2)依序輸入並開啟到第十六條掃描線S16,由於(b+ks)=(4+7×2)=18>16(n),故掃描訊號於輸入第十六條掃描線S16之後,會依序輸入第二虛擬掃描線DS21及DS22。換言之,由於(b+ks)>n,故掃描驅動電 路輸出掃描訊號開啟最後一條掃描線(S16)之後,會開啟第二虛擬掃描線DS21及DS22,並重覆對第十五條掃描線S15、第十六條掃描線S16、第二虛擬掃描線DS21、DS22輸出一次(c=2)。 When k=7, the scan signal output by the scan driver circuit is scanned by the fifteenth The line S15 (1+7×2) is sequentially input and turned on to the sixteenth scanning line S16. Since (b+ks)=(4+7×2)=18>16(n), the scanning signal is input. After the sixteenth scan line S16, the second dummy scan lines DS21 and DS22 are sequentially input. In other words, since (b+ks)>n, the scan drive power After the last scan line is turned on (S16), the second dummy scan lines DS21 and DS22 are turned on, and the fifteenth scan line S15, the sixteenth scan line S16, and the second dummy scan line DS21 are repeated. The DS22 outputs once (c=2).

因此,一個圖框時間內,掃描線及虛擬掃描線依序被掃描驅 動電路驅動及開啟的順序是:DS11~S2、DS11~S2、S1~S4、S1~S4、…S13~S16、S13~S16、S15~DS22、S15~DS22。因此,同樣以60Hz為例,本實施例於圖框時間不變的情況下,某一條掃描線的掃描週期為1/240秒,比習知技術快了3倍,與習知相較,雖然相鄰畫素電極還是會互相干擾,但如圖3B所示,畫素P之畫素電極113更可於1/240秒時間被輸入資料電壓一次,一個圖框時間內可被輸入四次,因此,可改善兩相鄰畫素電極之間因訊號耦合干擾所引起的顯示品質不佳的狀況。另外,由於一區掃描結束後,是往下移2條掃描線而重覆對上一區的2條掃描線開啟並對畫素電極113進行輸入資料電壓的動作,故也可改善第一實施例中,下一區的第一條掃描線對應的畫素電極113干擾上一區最後一條掃描線對應的畫素電極113,進而改善兩區之間產生亮暗條紋的問題。 Therefore, within one frame time, the scan lines and the virtual scan lines are sequentially scanned. The order of driving and starting of the dynamic circuit is: DS11~S2, DS11~S2, S1~S4, S1~S4, ...S13~S16, S13~S16, S15~DS22, S15~DS22. Therefore, taking 60 Hz as an example, in the case where the frame time is constant, the scanning period of a certain scanning line is 1/240 seconds, which is three times faster than the conventional technique, compared with the conventional one, although The adjacent pixel electrodes will still interfere with each other, but as shown in FIG. 3B, the pixel electrode 113 of the pixel P can be input to the data voltage once in 1/240 seconds, and can be input four times in one frame time. Therefore, it is possible to improve the poor display quality caused by signal coupling interference between two adjacent pixel electrodes. In addition, since the scanning of one area is completed, the two scanning lines are moved downward and the two scanning lines of the previous area are turned on and the input voltage voltage is input to the pixel electrode 113, so that the first implementation can be improved. In the example, the pixel electrode 113 corresponding to the first scan line of the next region interferes with the pixel electrode 113 corresponding to the last scan line of the previous region, thereby improving the problem of bright and dark stripes between the two regions.

另外,請參照圖2A至圖4B所示,其中,圖4A及圖4B分 別為本發明較佳實施例之一種電泳顯示裝置的不同驅動方法的示意圖。電泳性顯示裝置的技術特徵已於上述第一實施例及第二實施例中詳述,不再多做說明。 In addition, please refer to FIG. 2A to FIG. 4B, wherein FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B are divided. A schematic diagram of different driving methods of an electrophoretic display device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The technical features of the electrophoretic display device have been described in detail in the first embodiment and the second embodiment described above, and will not be further described.

如圖4A所示,電泳性顯示裝置的驅動方法包括步驟S01: 由驅動模組輸出一掃描訊號驅動顯示模組,其中掃描訊號由第(1+ks)條掃描線依序輸入到第(b+ks)條掃描線並重覆輸入c次,k為0或正整數,n、b、c及s分別為正整數,1≦s<n,0≦k<n,1<b<n,且當第(1+ks)條掃描線到第(b+ks)條掃描線依序被掃描訊號重複輸入c次後,則將k加1,之後再重覆掃描。 As shown in FIG. 4A, the driving method of the electrophoretic display device includes step S01: The driving module outputs a scanning signal to drive the display module, wherein the scanning signal is sequentially input to the (b+ks) scanning line by the (1+ks) scanning lines and repeated input c times, k is 0 or positive Integers, n, b, c, and s are positive integers, respectively, 1≦s<n,0≦k<n,1<b<n, and when the (1+ks)th scan line reaches the (b+ks) After the scanning lines are sequentially input by the scanning signal for c times, k is incremented by 1, and then the scanning is repeated.

在一實施例中,s=b,在另一實施例中,s<b。另外,於由 驅動模組輸出掃描訊號的步驟中,當掃描訊號輸入一掃描線,驅動模組更可輸出一資料訊號,並透過該些資料線輸入對應的該些畫素電極。另外,如圖3A所示,顯示模組11a更可具有多數條第一虛擬掃描線及多數條第二 虛擬掃描線,該些第一虛擬掃描線或該些第二虛擬掃描線的數量為(b-s),且如圖4B所示,當k=0時,則執行步驟S02:於掃描訊號輸入第一條掃描線之前,掃描訊號先依序輸入該些第一虛擬掃描線後,再由第一條掃描線依序輸入到第s條掃描線。另外,當(b+ks)>n時,則執行步驟S03:掃描訊號於輸入第n條掃描線之後,掃描訊號再依序輸入該些第二虛擬掃描線。 In one embodiment, s = b, in another embodiment, s < b. In addition, Yu Yu In the step of outputting the scan signal by the driving module, when the scan signal is input to a scan line, the drive module can further output a data signal, and input the corresponding pixel electrodes through the data lines. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3A, the display module 11a may further have a plurality of first virtual scan lines and a plurality of second lines. a virtual scan line, the number of the first virtual scan lines or the second virtual scan lines is (bs), and as shown in FIG. 4B, when k=0, step S02 is performed: the scan signal is input first. Before the scan lines, the scan signals are sequentially input to the first virtual scan lines, and then the first scan lines are sequentially input to the sth scan lines. In addition, when (b+ks)>n, step S03 is performed: after the scan signal is input to the nth scan line, the scan signal is sequentially input to the second dummy scan lines.

此外,電泳性顯示裝置的驅動方法的其它技術特徵已於上述中詳述,不再贅述。 Further, other technical features of the driving method of the electrophoretic display device have been described in detail above and will not be described again.

綜上所述,因本發明之電泳顯示裝置及其驅動方法中,係由驅動模組輸出一掃描訊號驅動顯示模組。其中,掃描訊號由第(1+ks)條掃描線依序輸入到第(b+ks)條掃描線並重覆輸入c次,k為0或正整數,n、b、c及s分別為正整數,1≦s<n,0≦k<n,1<b<n,且當第(1+ks)條掃描線到第(b+ks)條掃描線依序被掃描訊號重複輸入c次後,則將k加1。藉此,與習知相較,雖然相鄰畫素電極還是會互相干擾,但是資料線的資料電壓可於較短時間內輸入該些畫素之畫素電極,而且一個圖框時間內可被輸入資料電壓數次,故使畫素電極的電位可以較容易被維持於一定值而使電泳性物質可被驅動到達定位以正確顯示影像。因此,本發明之電泳顯示裝置及其驅動方法可改善兩相鄰畫素電極之間因訊號耦合干擾所引起的顯示品質不佳的狀況。 In summary, in the electrophoretic display device and the driving method thereof, the driving module outputs a scanning signal to drive the display module. The scan signal is sequentially input to the (b+ks) scan line by the (1+ks) scan line and is repeatedly input c times, k is 0 or a positive integer, and n, b, c, and s are positive respectively. Integer, 1≦s<n,0≦k<n,1<b<n, and when the (1+ks)th scan line to the (b+ks)th scan line are sequentially scanned, the signal is repeatedly input c times. After that, add k to 1. Therefore, compared with the conventional ones, although the adjacent pixel electrodes still interfere with each other, the data voltage of the data line can input the pixel electrodes of the pixels in a short time, and the frame time can be The input data voltage is applied several times, so that the potential of the pixel electrode can be easily maintained at a certain value so that the electrophoretic substance can be driven to reach the position to correctly display the image. Therefore, the electrophoretic display device and the driving method thereof of the present invention can improve the poor display quality caused by signal coupling interference between two adjacent pixel electrodes.
