Abstract

An electrophoretic display capable of reducing passive matrix coupling effect includes an electrophoretic panel, a coupling capacitor group, a plurality of first scan lines, and a plurality of second scan lines. The electrophoretic panel includes a plurality of pixels. The coupling capacitor group includes a plurality of coupling capacitors. Each pixel of the plurality of pixels is coupled to a storage capacitor and corresponds to a coupling capacitor, the storage capacitor is coupled to a first scan line and a second scan line, the coupling capacitor is coupled to another first scan line and the second scan line, and the coupling capacitor is not coupled to any pixel.

Claims (17)
