Abstract:
A method for operating a display system, said display system comprising a first substrate having a plurality of pixel electrodes, an electro-optic layer operatively coupled to said pixel electrodes and an electrode operatively coupled to said electro-optic layer, said method comprising:applying a first plurality of pixel data values to said plurality of pixel electrodes such that a first pixel data represented by said first plurality of pixel data values is displayed;applying a first control voltage to said electrode to alter a state of said electro-optic layer such that said first pixel data is substantially not displayed;applying a second plurality of pixel data values to said plurality of pixel electrodes, said second plurality of pixel data values representing a second pixel data;after applying said second plurality of pixel data values, applying a second control voltage to said electrode to alter said state of said electro-optic layer such that said second pixel data is displayed, and wherein a voltage difference between said first control voltage and said second control voltage is reduced to reduce capacitive shifting of said second plurality of pixel data values on said plurality of pixel electrodes.
