Abstract
A method of controlling an electronic display having a plurality of pixels settable in a first operating level, a second operating level and an intermediate operating level, the method comprising the step of setting the pixels in a preparatory intermediate operating level immediately prior to setting the pixels in a desired intermediate operating state. At an end of a frame i−1, for example, it is possible to drive a pixel from a level P0 further towards white to reach reflection level Pn or to stop driving it, or to switch a control voltage to an apposite polarity and arrive at a lower level. Levels P1 and P2 present embodiments of preparatory intermediate levels used to drive pixels in accordance with the invention. For example, levels 2, 4, and 6 may be obtained from the preparatory level P1. Levels 3, 5, and 7 may be obtained from the preparatory level P2.
