electrophoretic display panel

An electrophoretic display panel (1) for displaying a picture corresponding to image information, comprising:

• an electrophoretic medium (5), comprising charged particles (6) in a fluid;
• a plurality of picture elements (2);
• a first and a second electrode (3,4) associated with each picture element (2) for receiving a first and a second potential, respectively,
• drive means (100);
• monitoring means (101);
• and
• control means (103),
• the charged particles (6) being able to occupy a position between the electrodes (3,4), the drive means (100) being able to control for each picture element (2) the potentials, thereby being able to change the position particles (6) based on the image information,
• the monitoring means (101) being able to generate for each picture element (2) actual position information indicative for the actual position of the particles (6), and
• the control means (103) being able to control for each picture element (2) the drive means (100) in dependence of the actual position information and the image information to reduce a difference between the actual position of the particles (6) and the position of the particles (6) corresponding to the image information, characterised in that
• the monitoring means (101) comprise electrical means (102) able to generate for each picture element (2) the actual position information based on an electrical property of the respective picture element (2).
