Multi-element pixel electrode circuits for electro-optic displays and methods for driving the same

An electro-optic display comprising:

• a first subpixel electrode and a second subpixel electrode associated with a display pixel;
• an electrophoretic display medium disposed between a common electrode and the first and second subpixel electrodes;
• a display controller circuit in electrical communication with the common electrode and a first transistor associated with the display pixel, the display controller circuit capable of applying waveforms to the display pixel by applying one or more time-dependent voltages between the common electrode and the first subpixel electrode via the first transistor, wherein the one or more time-dependent voltages are applied to the first subpixel electrode;
• and
• a second transistor in electrical communication with the first subpixel electrode and a third transistor,
• wherein the third transistor is in electrical communication with the second subpixel electrode, and
• wherein a row selection signal associated with the display pixel activates the first transistor and the second transistor to place the first subpixel electrode into electrical communication with the third transistor.
