19. An electrophoretic display (10), comprising:
-
an electrophoretic pixel array (20) disposed on a backplane (32);
a row driver (40) electrically connected to a set of rows (44) of the electrophoretic pixel array;
a column driver (50) electrically connected to a set of columns (54) of the electrophoretic pixel array; and
a controller (30) electrically connected to the row driver and the column driver;
wherein the controller determines an image-holding time (82) for a subwindow (80) of the electrophoretic display; and
wherein the controller addresses the subwindow of the electrophoretic display based on the received image information and the image-holding time to activate at least one electrophoretic pixel (22) in the electrophoretic pixel array. - View Dependent Claims (20)
