Abstract
A bistable electro-optic display having a plurality of pixels each of which is capable of displaying at least three optical states, including two extreme optical states, is driven by the method comprising a first drive scheme capable of effecting transitions between all of the gray levels which can be displayed by the pixels; and a second drive scheme which contains only transitions ending at one of the extreme optical states of the pixels.

A method of driving a bistable electro-optic display having a plurality of pixels each of which is capable of displaying at least three optical states, including two extreme optical states, the method comprising:
- driving the electro-optic display using a first drive scheme capable of effecting transitions between all of the gray levels which can be displayed by the pixels;
- and
- driving the electro-optic display using a second drive scheme which contains only transitions ending at one of the extreme optical states of the pixels.
