METHOD OF DRIVING ELECTROPHORETIC DISPLAY PANEL
A method of driving an electrophoretic display panel includes: applying a first voltage having a first polarity with respect to a reference voltage to an electrophoretic display panel to display an N-th image, where N is a natural number; applying the first voltage to the electrophoretic display panel, on which the N-th image is displayed, to display a first full-grayscale image; applying a second voltage having a second polarity with respect to a reference voltage to an electrophoretic display panel, on which the first full-grayscale image is displayed, to display a second full-grayscale image, where the second polarity is opposite to the first polarity; and applying the first polarity voltage to the electrophoretic display panel, on which the second full grayscale image is displayed, to display an (N+1)-th image.
