Abstract

Methods for identifying a preferred waveform for a target color state when using a voltage driver having at least five different voltage levels.
Claims15
A computer program product stored in a non-transitory memory for determining push-pull waveforms for driving an electrophoretic display, the computer program product containing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- estimate an optical state of the electrophoretic display produced by each of a plurality of candidate push-pull waveforms using a model representing the electrophoretic display, wherein the model includes a transfer function represented by
- O(t)=ƒ(V(t),x(0))
- where t is time, O(t) is the optical state of the electrophoretic display as a function of t, V(t) is the voltage applied to the electrophoretic display as a function of t, x(0) is an initial optical state of the electrophoretic display at t=0, and f is a function of V(t) and x(0);
- and
- select a push-pull waveform to produce a targeted optical state based on the estimated optical states produced by the candidate waveforms.
