An electrophoretic display (“EPD”) includes a display panel displaying an image and a gray-scale generator generating a gray-scale and providing a gray-scale voltage to the display panel. The gray-scale generator generates a gray-scale value of a white color using gray-scale values of red, green and blue colors and a brightness ratio between the red, green and blue colors. When a pure color is displayed, the EPD prevents the gray-scale of the white color from being fixed to 0. Thus, the EPD may enhance a chroma of the pure color and color brightness, thereby improving a display quality thereof.

This application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 2007-19805, filed on Feb. 27, 2007, and all the benefits accruing therefrom under 35 U.S.C. §119, the contents of which in its entirety are herein incorporated by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an electrophoretic display and method thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to an electrophoretic display capable of improving display characteristics thereof and the method thereof.
The above and other features and advantages of the present invention will become readily apparent by reference to the following detailed description when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an exemplary embodiment of an electrophoretic display (“EPD”) according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a portion of an exemplary display panel of FIG. 1;
Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. In the drawings, the thickness of layers, films, and regions are exaggerated for clarity. Like numerals refer to like elements throughout.
It will be understood that when an element such as a layer, film, region, or substrate is referred to as being “on” another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may also be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly on” another element, there are no intervening elements present. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, third etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another element, component, region, layer or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings of the present invention.
