Patent ID: 7920135

Claim:
A system configured to display video data on an array of bi-stable display elements, the system comprising: a processor configured to receive video data; a display comprising an array of bi-stable display elements; a driver controller separate from and in data communication with the processor and configured to receive the video data from the processor wherein the driver controller is not specifically configured for driving the array of bi-stable display elements; and an array driver directly connected to the driver controller and configured to receive the video data from the driver controller, the array driver further being directly connected to the processor and configured to receive display signals directly from the processor, the connection between the array driver and the processor being different from the connection between the array driver and the driver controller, the array driver being further configured to display the video data on the array of bi-stable display elements using the display signals, wherein the display signals reduce a refresh and/or update rate of displaying the video data on the array of bi-stable display elements from a refresh and/or update rate corresponding to the configuration of the driver controller, and in accordance with the display features of the array of bi-stable display elements.
