Methods and systems for managing remnant voltage during fast updates in electrophoretic displays

Methods for actively managing remnant voltage on backplane electrodes when driving an electrophoretic display, especially with short waveforms, such as used for scrolling, pinch-zoom, pulldown menus, and even video. The methods track the remnant voltage changes for each backplane electrode during a series of image updates and use same color transitions to either improve the optical quality state of the display pixel or to decrease the remnant voltage at the display pixel. Thus, it is not necessary to employ full reset pulses, which typically drive a backplane electrode to both extreme voltage states and appear very “flashy” to a user.

Electroactive lens with raised resistive bridges

An electroactive lens with raised resistive bridges is disclosed. The resistive bridges can connect many ring electrodes in an electroactive lens with a relatively small number of bus lines. These resistors are typically large to prevent excessive current consumption. Typically, they are placed in the same plane as the ring electrodes, which means that the ring electrodes are further apart or made discontinuous to accommodate the resistors. But further separating the ring electrodes or making them discontinuous degrades the optical quality of the lens. Placing the ring electrodes and resistors on layers separated by an insulator allows the ring electrodes to be closer together and continuous and have a high enough resistance to limit current consumption. It also relaxes the constraints on feature size and placement during processing to make the lens. And because the resistors and electrodes are on different planes, they can be formed of materials with different resistivities.
