Altering frame rates in a MEMS display by selective line skipping
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of operating a bi-stable display, the method comprising:
- determining a drive schedule for a plurality of bi-stable display elements arranged in a plurality of rows and columns, wherein determining the drive schedule includes setting a priority for each row or column of a plurality of the rows or columns; and
determining for each row or column individually whether to display the row or column based upon the priorities of the rows or columns.

17. A bi-stable display system, the system comprising:
-
a display comprising a plurality of bi-stable elements arranged in a plurality of rows and columns; and a processor configured to communicate with said display, said processor being configured to determine a drive schedule for the rows and columns, wherein determining the drive schedule setting a priority for each row or column of a plurality of the rows or columns, and to determine for each row or column individually whether to display the row or column or to skip the row or column based upon the priorities of the rows or columns. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)

39. A bi-stable display system, the system comprising:
-
means for displaying display data; and means for determining a drive schedule for updating the display means, wherein determining the drive schedule includes setting a priority for each row or column of a plurality of the rows or columns; and means for determining for each row or column individually whether to display the row or column or to skip the row or column based on the priorities of the rows or columns. - View Dependent Claims (40)
