Driving device of display medium, display device, and non-transitory computer readable medium

1. A driving device of a display medium, comprising:

an applying unit that applies a gray level adjusting voltage including unit pulses in accordance with a gray level of a pixel to the pixel of a display medium in which plural types of particle group are encapsulated, the plural types of particle groups having:

different colors,

different movement times when the particle groups move from one of a pair of substrates to the other substrate, and when an intensity of an electric field is fixed, and

different threshold values at which the particle groups begin to move between the pair of substrates depending on the electric field formed between the pair of substrates in which at least one of the substrates is translucent; and

a control unit that controls the applying unit so that the number of unit pulses of the gray level adjusting voltage which is applied at the movement time of each of the plural types of particle groups is equal to the number of unit pulses of the gray level adjusting voltage which is applied at the movement time of a particle group having the highest threshold value among the plural types of particle groups.

2. The driving device of claim 1 , wherein the control unit controls the applying unit so that the lower the threshold value of the particle group among the plural types of particle groups, the lower the voltage value of the gray level adjusting voltage for the particle group.

3. The driving device of claim 1 , wherein the control unit controls the applying unit to apply a preliminary voltage at which a particle group having a threshold value lower than the threshold value of the particle group whose gray level will be adjusted, among the plural types of particle groups is separated from any one of the pair of substrates and attached onto the other substrate, before applying the gray level adjusting voltage.

4. The driving device of claim 3 , wherein the control unit controls the applying unit so that a voltage value of the preliminary voltage is equal to or higher than a voltage value of the gray level adjusting voltage for the particle group having the highest threshold value among the plural types of particle groups.

5. The driving device of claim 1 , wherein the control unit controls the applying unit to apply an additional voltage which is equal to or lower than a voltage value of the gray level adjusting voltage, after applying the gray level adjusting voltage.

6. The driving voltage of claim 5 , wherein the control unit controls the applying unit so as to set a voltage value of the additional voltage to be equal to the voltage value of the gray level adjusting voltage when a gray level of the pixel is a minimum gray level or a maximum gray level and set the voltage value of the additional voltage to be lower than the voltage value of the gray level adjusting voltage when a gray level of the pixel is higher than the minimum gray level and lower than the maximum gray level.

7. The driving device of claim 1 , wherein the control unit controls the applying unit so that the lower the threshold value of the particle group among the plural types of particle groups, the shorter the width of the unit pulse.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to function as the control unit of the driving device according to claim 1 .

9. A display device, comprising:

the display medium; and

the driving device of the display medium of claim 1 .
