Abstract
A device (B) is described for driving a bistable display (A). The device includes a processor () for receiving an input signal indicative for a desired luminance of said at least one pixel. The device also includes a controller () for determining a sequence of voltage levels to achieve a transition from a present luminance to the desired luminance. The device further includes a voltage generator () for generating the sequence of voltage levels. A portion of the sequence is selected from a plurality of mutually different sequence portions, to achieve mutually different luminance transitions. At least a first and a second of this plurality of sequence portions mutually have a same set of voltage levels and have the voltage levels from that set occurring the same number of times, but have the voltage levels in that set occur in a mutually different order.
