A display system and a method for driving a display, where the display system includes a first device comprising a first display, wherein the first display comprises a first electrode and a second electrode with a display component layer therebetween, and the second electrode is grounded, and a second device comprising a third electrode and an electric voltage source coupling to the third electrode, wherein when an electric voltage is applied to the third electrode by the electric voltage source, the third electrode is capable of inducing electrostatic charges on the first electrode, and a potential difference between the first electrode and the second electrode produced by the electrostatic charges on the first electrode is capable of driving molecules in the display component layer to be re-distributed.
