Driving circuitry is disclosed for electrochromic displays, the driving circuits providing specific characteristics necessary for such displays. Particularly, apparatus is provided to minimize variations in the optical density and in the contrast between the various segments of a device. Further, simultaneous coloring and bleaching signals are provided to the display, thereby avoiding an undesired visual effect of unsynchronized formation for a character on a display device. The circuitry moreover includes components to prevent repeated energization of a segment in a display device. Additionally, circuitry is provided for generating bleach and color signals for the display. Additionally, a power supply for electrochromic displays, requiring bipolar outputs, is disclosed utilizing a single, unipolar, unregulated source therein.
