Abstract:
1. An electrophoresis display, comprising: an electrophoresis display panel having a plurality of data lines and a plurality of gate lines which cross each other and a plurality of electrophoresis cells; a first memory and a second memory configured to alternatively store a previous state image and a current state image; a system configured to sequentially generate first digital data every cycle; a mode table configured to store a plurality of waveform information; and a controller which sets the first digital data generated by the system as the current state image and stores it alternately in one of the first and second memories every cycle, keeps storing the first digital data previously stored in the other one of the first and second memories in it as the previous state image, compares the current state image and the previous state image, and generates second digital data to be displayed on the electrophoresis display panel by use of waveform information corresponding to the result of the comparison among the plurality of waveform information, wherein the controller updates only any one of the first and second memories with the first digital data newly input by the system, and maintains the first digital data previously stored in another one of the first and second memories, and switches the first and second memories for updating and maintaining every cycle, wherein the controller comprises: a first memory control unit configured to write and read the first memory; a second memory control unit configured to write and read the second memory; a storage memory selection unit configured to alternately operate the first and second memory control units every cycle for the writing operation; and a data generator configured to simultaneously receive the current state image and the previous state image through the first and second memory control units, compare the current state image and the previous state image, and generate the second digital data according to the result of the comparison, wherein the first and second memory control units simultaneously read out the first digital data from the first memory and the second memory, respectively, during a reading period in all cycles, wherein the first memory control unit is operated during a writing period in a first cycle to set the first digital data generated by the system at the first cycle as the current state image and write the first digital data in the first memory; and the second memory control unit is operated during a writing period in a second cycle to set the first digital data generated by the system at the second cycle as the current state image and write the first digital data in the second memory, and wherein the first digital data stored in the second memory during the previous cycle right before the first cycle is re-set as the previous state image during the first cycle and then maintained in the second memory; and the first digital data stored in the first memory during the previous cycle right before the second cycle is re-set as the previous state image during the second cycle and then maintained in the first memory.
