A method for driving an electrophoretic display device that includes a display unit having a plurality of pixels and an electrophoretic element provided between a pair of substrates, comprising
- displaying on the display unit a third image that includes an image component of a first image and an image component of a second image before changing the first image displayed on the display unit to the second image,
- wherein the third image includes at least a first image component formed by reversing the first image and a second image component of the second image or a third image component of the first image and a fourth image component formed by reversing the second image,
- deleting the first image immediately before or after the displaying the third image, and deleting at least a part of an outline of the first image after the deleting the first image.
An electrophoretic display device comprising:
- a display unit that includes a plurality of pixels and an electrophoretic element provided between a pair of substrates;
- and
- a control section that controls the pixels,
- wherein the control section performs a combined image display operation to cause the display unit to display a third image that includes an image component of a first image and an image component of a second image before the first image that is displayed on the display unit is changed to the second image, and
- wherein the third image includes at least a first image component formed by reversing the first image and a second image component of the second image or a third image component of the first image and a fourth image component formed by reversing the second image,
- wherein the control section performs an image deleting operation to delete the first image immediately before or after the combined image display operation, and
- wherein the control section performs an outline deleting operation to delete at least part of an outline of the first image after the image deleting operation.
