Thanks! It works quite differently from what I thought I understood from old cartoons. I was under the impression that the pigment was more or less fixed in the gel with the black and white on opposite sides, and that the gel spun around as a whole within the cell. Clearly, that's not what is happening.

I'm also still not clear about why the ghosting remains. Even if there is some gray in the white cells next to black ones in the original image, why don't they just become white when the next image is displayed? Does the display not try to change pixels whose value hasn't changed? Or, as I mentioned in my last message, is it a case of some kind of internal resistance not allowing such fine-grained control?
