METHOD AND DEVICE FOR REDUCING EFFECT OF POLARITY INVERSION IN DRIVING DISPLAY
First Claim
1. A method of displaying an image on a display, the display including display elements arranged in an array having a first direction and a second direction that intersects the first direction, the method comprising:
- writing image data to the array of display elements; and
maintaining a current position of each display element of the array of display elements, wherein maintaining a current position includes alternating the polarity of a first voltage signal along the first direction in a first pattern having a first frequency spectrum, and alternating the polarity of a second voltage signal along the second direction in a second pattern having a second frequency spectrum, and wherein at least one of the first and second frequency spectrums includes a plurality of frequency components.

Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for reducing artifacts in an image generated by a display device. In one aspect, data is written to a display and a position of display elements is maintained based on the application of a bias voltage pattern. The bias voltage pattern includes alternating polarities along one dimension in a pattern having a first frequency spectrum, and alternating polarities along a second dimension in a pattern having a second frequency spectrum that is different than the first frequency spectrum. At least one of the first and second frequency spectrums may include a plurality of frequency components.
