Patent ID: 8395611

Claim:
A driving circuit for a bistable display, the driving circuit comprising: a first terminal configured to be directly connected to a row electrode of the bistable display; a second terminal configured to be directly connected to a column electrode of the bistable display; a third terminal configured to be directly connected to a pixel electrode of the bistable display; a load impedance; a first rectifying diode directly connected between the second terminal and the third terminal; and a second rectifying diode connected in series with the load impedance between the first terminal and the third terminal, wherein said first rectifying diode is forward connected from the second terminal to the third terminal, said second rectifying diode is forward connected from the third terminal to the load impedance, and said load impedance is directly connected to the first terminal, and wherein said at least one row electrode, said at least one column electrode and said pixel electrode are on a same side of the bistable display, and wherein said first rectifying diode is forward connected from the second terminal to the third terminal, and said second rectifying diode is forward connected from the first terminal to the third terminal.
