Methods are disclosed for driving an electrophoretic display having a plurality of display pixels arranged in a matrix comprising a two-dimensional array of rows and columns of display pixels. The methods include dividing the display pixels into groups made up of a plurality of clusters, where each cluster includes a number of adjacent display pixels. The method includes updating one group of display pixels during a first frame, where display pixels not in the one group are not updated during the first frame, and each cluster in the one group of display pixels is updated at the same time. The methods include applying an edge clearing waveform to no more than eight cardinal pixels of the adjacent display pixels of each cluster.

Electro-optic displays and driving methods

A method for driving an electrophoretic display having a plurality of display pixels, the method comprising dividing the plurality of display pixels into a plurality of groups, updating one group of display pixels from the plurality of groups of display pixels, the one group of display pixels includes at least n number of adjacent display pixels being updated at the same time, wherein n is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and applying an edge clearing waveform to no more than (n×2)+2 number of cardinal pixels of the one group of display pixels.
