A display apparatus includes a display panel comprising a pixel which is connected to a gate line and a data line, a gate driver configured to generate a gate signal having a gate-on voltage and a gate-off voltage and to provide the gate line with the gate signal, and a gate controller configured to generate a clock signal having a duty ratio and to provide the gate driver with the clock signal, where a mean amplitude of the clock signal in a vertical blanking period of a frame cycle is smaller than the mean amplitude of the clock signal in an active period of the frame cycle.

An electrochromic system and method for controlling photochromic darkening of an electrochromic device, the system including an EC device, a control unit, a voltage detector, and a power supply. The EC device includes a working electrode, a counter electrode, and a solid-state polymer electrolyte disposed therebetween. The control unit is configured to control a sweep voltage applied between the working and counter electrodes, such that the sweep voltage is applied when an open circuit voltage (OCV) between the working and counter electrodes is less than a threshold voltage.

Methods for driving electro-optic displays, especially bistable displays, include (a) using two-part waveforms, the first part of which is dependent only upon the initial state of the relevant pixel; (b) measuring the response of each individual pixel and storing for each pixel data indicating which of a set of standard drive schemes are to be used for that pixel; (c) for at least one transition in a drive scheme, applying multiple different waveforms to pixels on a random basis; and (d) when updating a limited area of the display, driving “extra” pixels in an edge elimination region to avoid edge effects.

A color filter substrate, a display panel and a display device arc provided. The color filter substrate includes a base substrate, the base substrate being divided into a plurality of pixel units, each pixel unit including a plurality of sub-pixel units, a color filter being arranged in each sub-pixel unit. At least one color filter of the plurality of sub-pixel units in each of the pixel units is made of an electrochromic material

A viewing system is provided including an active transparency modulation film in the form of addressable arrays of electrochromic pixel structures. The viewing system may be used in, for instance, a head-mounted display (HMD) or head-up display (HUD). The film is located on one side of a viewing lens of the system and is selectively variable from opaque to transparent at certain regions on the lens to provide an opaque silhouetted image upon which a virtual image is projected. The viewing system including the film and pixel structure therefore provide improved viewing by minimizing the undesirable effects of image ghosting in a viewed scene.
