Scheme of electronic ink - I want to understand

Question

Electronic books

I came across this photo. As far as I understand, this is how color electronic ink works. And it looks like it's not exactly public information. Please help me with the diagram.

Answer 1

As far as I understand, this is just a layout of pixels on the screen. Each pixel is a square of 4 sub-pixels: green (G), white (W), red ® and blue (B). (scheme in the center is 'one pixel =')
Scan direction — direction of polling columns. Data direction - probably the drawing sequence of each column. There is nothing on the diagram that would reveal the principles of operation of electronic ink, exactly the same can be drawn for the LCD screen.

Answer 2

The most interesting thing here is that the subpixels are shifted by 2 in the even and odd subpixel rows,
i.e. pixels are of 2 types
GW
RB
and
RB
GW
I wonder why so?

Answer 3

In my opinion, the shape of a pixel is simply shown (as, for example, in a conventional monitor it can be three vertical subpixels) and directions: updates go from left to right, information on the controller comes from the top line to the bottom ... I.e. there is no secret here.
