Display device and method for driving a cholesteric liquid-crystal display device

Abstract

A method for driving a cholesteric liquid-crystal display device is provided. The cholesteric liquid-crystal display device includes a cholesteric liquid-crystal display panel and a driving circuit section. The cholesteric liquid-crystal display panel includes a plurality of scanning electrodes and a plurality of data electrodes. The method includes the following steps: utilizing the driving circuit section to sequentially activate each of the scanning electrodes using a pulse-width modulation (PWM) scanning procedure, which comprises a selection stage and a non-selection stage; and during the selection stage of each pixel circuit on an activated scanning electrode among the plurality of scanning electrodes, utilizing the driving circuit section to add one or more first additional voltage pulses and one or more second additional voltage pulses to a negative half cycle and a positive half cycle of a common AC voltage pulse applied to each pixel circuit on the activated scanning electrode, respectively.
