Patent 10037735 was granted and assigned to E Ink Corporation on July, 2018 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
An active matrix electro-optic display (100) includes capacitor electrodes (110, 112) associated with the pixel electrodes (106, 108) so that the pixel electrode and its associated capacitor electrode form a capacitor. The display (100) also includes switching means (120) having one position in which each capacitor electrode (110, 112) is electrically connected to the light-transmissive front electrode (102) of the display (100) and a second position in which each capacitor electrode (110, 112) is electrically connected to a voltage source having a voltage independent of the voltage on the light-transmissive electrode.
