a driving method of an electrophoretic display having at least a display particle is provided . the driving method includes the following steps . a first voltage difference is applied to a data line in a first period , in which the data line corresponds to one of the display particles . at least a particle restore period is inserted in the first period , and a second voltage difference is applied to the data line in the particle restore periods , in which the second voltage difference is different from the first voltage difference . with this method disclosed here , the maxima brightness , maxima darkness , contrast ratio , color saturation , bistability , and image updating time can be largely improved .
