Abstract
An exemplary driving method is adapted for a bistable display device including a pixel array. The pixel array includes a plurality of first pixels and a plurality of second pixels arranged in a predetermined manner. The driving method includes the following steps of: during a first time period, providing the first pixels with a first pixel voltage for black insertion and providing the second pixels with a second pixel voltage different from the first pixel voltage; during a second time period following the first time period, providing the first pixels with the second pixel voltage for white insertion and maintaining the second pixels provided with the second pixel voltage for white insertion; and during a third time period following the second time period, initiating the first pixels to display a gray scale image and providing the second pixels with the first pixel voltage for black insertion.
