METHOD OF DRIVING ELECTROPHORETIC DISPLAY DEVICE, CONTROL CIRCUIT OF ELECTROPHORETIC DISPLAY DEVICE, ELECTROPHORETIC DISPLAY DEVICE, AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS

摘要

An electrophoretic display device includes pixel electrodes, common electrodes, an electrophoretic material, and storage capacity elements. An EPD capacity is sufficiently smaller than a storage capacity. The electrophoretic material includes first particles and second particles. Electric fields, which are generated between the pixel electrodes and the common electrodes when the first particles are dispersed in the vicinity of the common electrodes, include alternate electric fields in which a first strong electric field which faces a first direction and a second weak electric field which is weaker than the first strong electric field are alternately repeated at a common potential cycle. In this way, the first particles are effectively separated from the second particles, and thus the electrophoretic display device, which has a high contrast ratio and which shows high image quality, is implemented.
