Abstract

An electro-phoretic display apparatus is disclosed. The electro-phoretic display apparatus mentioned above includes a plurality of pixel unit lines, a plurality of common voltage transferring lines, and a common voltage generator. The common voltage transferring lines extend and connect to a common line segment directly along a layout direction. The common voltage generator generates a common voltage and provides the common voltage for directly electrically connecting to a connection point on the common line segment. Moreover, the transfer timing delays of transferring the common voltage from the connection point to the first common voltage transferring line and the last common voltage transferring line are the same.

Claims (12)

1. An electro-phoretic display apparatus, comprising:

a plurality of pixel unit lines;

a plurality of common voltage transferring lines respectively connected to the pixel unit lines, the common voltage transferring lines extending and connecting to a common line segment directly along a layout direction; and

a common voltage generator, directly electrically connected to a connection point on the common line segment for generating an alternating current (AC) common voltage and providing the common voltage to the connection point,

wherein a plurality of transfer timing delays of transferring the common voltage from the connection point to the first common voltage transferring line and the last common voltage transferring line of the plurality of common voltage transferring lines are the same.

2. The electro-phoretic display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connection point is a center point of the common line segment.

3. The electro-phoretic display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of common voltage transferring lines are formed by using a transparent conductive film.

4. The electro-phoretic display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the pixel unit lines comprises a plurality of pixel units.

5. The electro-phoretic display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the pixel units comprises:

a thin film transistor having a control terminal connected to a scan line, and a first terminal connected to a data line;

a storage capacitor serially connected between a second terminal of the thin film transistor and one of the common voltage transferring lines; and

a display capacitor parallel connected with the storage capacitor.
