Electrophoretic image displays (EPIDs) are a major contestant in the search for electronic paper. Working prototypes have been demonstrated, however, full understanding of the internal physical properties is not achieved yet. In this article, we will present, for the first time, a complete set of formulae that make it possible to simulate the electrical and optical properties of EPIDs. Starting from a theoretical model, that was presented in a previous article, this article gives numerical and graphical results. The set of formulae that was used and their output helps us understand how particles are transported inside a pixel and how this leads to the electrical and optical properties of the display.
