Abstract:
1. A method for driving a column of display elements having a parasitic capacitance, the method comprising: (a) during a pre-charge phase within a first row time period, pre-charging the column of display elements; (b) following the pre-charge phase, during a light emitting phase within the first row time period, applying a light emitting current to the column of display elements; (c) following the light emitting phase, during a partial-discharge phase within the first row time period, partially discharging the column of display elements; and (d) during an initial phase within a second row time period immediately following the first row time period, pre-charging the column of display elements if a light emitting phase is to be performed within the second row time period, otherwise further discharging the column of display elements if a light emitting phase is not to be performed within the second row time period.
