- the above embodiments are all exemplified by taking the charge carried by the charged particle 132 as a positive charge. If the charge of the charged particles 132 is negative, when the electric field formed by the target voltage is used to drive the charged particles 132 in the microcup 131' corresponding to the pixel of the target color to be displayed, the polarity of the target voltage must be determined. change.
