Method and system for driving a bi-stable display
First Claim
1. A system configured to display video data on an array of bi-stable display elements, the system comprising:
- a processor configured to receive video data;
a display comprising an array of bi-stable display elements;
a driver controller in data communication with the processor and configured to receive video data from the processor; and
an array driver configured to receive video data from the driver controller and receive display signals from the processor, and further configured to display the video data on the array of bi-stable display elements using the display signals.

Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for providing video data and display signals. In one embodiment, a system is configured to display video data on an array of bi-stable display elements, where the system includes a processor, a display comprising an array of bi-stable display elements, a driver controller connected to the processor and configured to receive video data from the processor, and an array driver configured to receive video data from the driver controller and display signals from the processor, and to display the video data on the array of bi-stable display elements using the display signals. In another embodiment, a method of displaying data on a bi-stable display includes transmitting display signals from a processor to a driver of an array of bi-stable display elements, and updating an image displayed on the array of bi-stable display elements, wherein the updating is based on signals from the driver and performed on a periodic basis that is based at least in part upon the transmitted display signals.
