The disclosure provides a bistable display device and a driving circuit. The bistable display device includes a display panel and the above-described driving circuit, wherein the driving circuit includes a source driver, a first image buffer, a second image buffer, and a timing controller. The source driver is coupled to the display panel to drive the display panel according to a pixel signal. The timing controller is coupled to the first image buffer, the second image buffer, and the source driver. The timing controller alternately selects a first image signal temporarily stored in the first image buffer and a second image signal temporarily stored in the second image buffer as a current image signal and a previous image signal. The timing controller performs a look-up mechanism based on the current image signal and the previous image signal to generate the pixel signal.

A liquid crystal eWriter system with a resistive digitizer and having palm rejection includes the following features. An eWriter includes eWriter substrates that are spaced apart from each other, an upper one of the eWriter substrates being formed of a flexible, clear polymeric material and a lower one of the eWriter substrates being formed of a flexible polymeric material. Electrically conductive layers are spaced apart from each other and located between the eWriter substrates. A dispersion layer including a dispersion of cholesteric liquid crystal material and polymer is disposed between the electrically conductive layers. Pressure applied to the eWriter changes a reflectance of the cholesteric liquid crystal material forming an image. A resistive digitizer determines a location of the pressure applied to the eWriter. The system is designed so that the resistive digitizer detects fingernail or stylus input with substantially no lightly written stroke loss but detects substantially no palm input, under ordinary writing conditions.
