Abstract:
1. A method for driving an electrophoretic display including a plurality of electrophoretic devices in each of which electrically charged particles are disposed between a pair of electrodes, comprising: applying a first voltage corresponding to an image data to the plurality of electrophoretic devices to display a first image; after application of the first voltage to the plurality of electrophoretic devices, applying a first reset voltage to the plurality of electrophoretic devices; after application of the first reset voltage to the plurality of electrophoretic devices, applying a second voltage corresponding to additional image data to display a second image to the plurality of electrophoretic devices; and after application of the second voltage to display the second image, applying a second reset voltage to the plurality of electrophoretic devices, the second reset voltage being of a greater magnitude than the first reset voltage; wherein the first reset voltage is of a magnitude that a first afterimage of the first image remains.
