Electrophoretic display panel

An electrophoretic display panel (1), for displaying a picture, 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 potential difference;
• and
• drive means (100),
• the charged particles (6) being able to occupy extreme positions near the electrodes (3,4) and intermediate positions in between the electrodes (3,4),
• the drive means (100) being arranged for controlling the potential difference of each picture element (2)
• to be a sequence of preset potential differences having preset values and associated preset durations, the preset values in the sequence alternating in sign, each preset potential difference representing a preset energy sufficient to release particles (6) present in one of said extreme positions from their position but insufficient to enable said particles (6) to reach the other one of the extreme positions, each preset potential difference having as a result a change of the position of the particles (6), and subsequently
• to be a picture potential difference for enabling the particles (6) to occupy one of said positions for displaying the picture, characterized in that
• the drive means (100) are further arranged for controlling for each picture element (2) of at least a number of the picture elements (2) the preset energies of the preset potential differences in the sequence to depend on a serial number in the sequence to obtain for each preset potential difference in the sequence a substantially equal magnitude of the change of the position of the particles (6).
