Abstract

A tetrode type electrophoretic display includes local anode lines electrically grouped into groups having the width of a character. In operation, the local anode may be used to blink selected characters by applying appropriate voltages to the various electrodes of the display in the proper sequence. Sequencing is controlled by a computer and associated software.
