Energy‐Efficient Driving Waveform Design for E‐Paper Display

ABSTRACT Color electronic paper (E‐paper) has been widely adopted in practical applications across various aspects of daily life. However, conventional driving schemes exhibit high‐energy consumption, slow refresh speed, and poor display stability, which restrict their applicability in portable and internet of things (IoT) scenarios. In this paper, we propose an energy‐efficient E‐paper driving waveform (E3DW) method to improve energy efficiency under varying environmental conditions. A temperature compensation mechanism and a dynamic voltage adjustment strategy are jointly integrated to adapt the waveform in real time based on ambient temperature and image content. The proposed method significantly reduces energy consumption by up to 35.7%, suppresses ghosting artifacts, and enhances display stability. Experimental evaluations on a practical platform verify its superiority over mainstream schemes.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Color electronic paper (E‐paper) has been widely adopted in practical applications across various aspects of daily life. However, conventional driving schemes exhibit high‐energy consumption, slow refresh speed, and poor display stability, which restrict their applicability in portable and internet of things (IoT) scenarios. In this paper, we propose an energy‐efficient E‐paper driving waveform (E3DW) method to improve energy efficiency under varying environmental conditions. A temperature compensation mechanism and a dynamic voltage adjustment strategy are jointly integrated to adapt the waveform in real time based on ambient temperature and image content. The proposed method significantly reduces energy consumption by up to 35.7%, suppresses ghosting artifacts, and enhances display stability. Experimental evaluations on a practical platform verify its superiority over mainstream schemes.
