摘要(中)

主動式電泳顯示裝置目前已廣泛應用於手持式閱讀器，舉例來說可作為電子書方面的應用。此研究提出用於主動式微膠囊電泳顯示裝置之控制器設計，並可支援不同規格的驅動波形應用。此研究也提出在影像顯示時所需的驅動方法，此方法能提供快速的畫面更新速度與有效解決殘影問題以達到高品質的影像顯示。
另一方面，彩色化的主動式電泳顯示裝置是目前未來的趨勢主流。此研究提出正規化RGB彩色濾光片的設計方法，此方法提供15.66%的反射率、10.8的對比值與5.01%的NTSC的彩色顯示品質。另外為驗證控制器模組設計的有效性，將控制器連接並點亮六吋主動式黑白與彩色電泳式顯示面板，然而在顯示畫面效果上提供了良好的影像顯示品質。

摘要(英)

The active matrix electrophoretic display (AMEPD) has been commonly used for the applications of smart handheld reading devices such as E-books and E-news. This study presents a controller design for micro-capsule AMEPDs. It can support different driving waveforms for various application specifications. It also presents a driving method for image display. The method provides fast speed performance for image display and also effectively eliminates the image residue for achieving high image quality.
On the other hand, the color AMEPD is the inevitable trend in the future. This study presents a normalized RGB color filter (CF) design which achieves 15.66% full white reflectance, 10.80 contrast ratio, and 5.01% of NTSC color gamut. The prototyped controller has connected to 6” mono and color AMEPD panels, where an excellent display quality has demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed controller design.
