摘要:
A display having a plurality of reflective display elements. In one embodiment, the display elements comprise at least one electrode (304) having a plurality of active areas (M1, M2, M3). In one embodiment, at least two of the sizes of the active areas are different with respect to each other, e.g., they are non-uniform in size. The interferometric modulators have a plurality of states, wherein selected ones of the interferometric modulators are configured to be actuated depending on differing electrostatic forces in the interferometric modulators. The electrostatic forces in the interferometric modulators are different at least in part due to variations in the sizes of the active areas of the electrodes.

A light modulator device includes a first electrical conduit, a second electrical conduit electrically isolated from the first conduit, a first display element, and a second display element. The first display element is in an actuated state when a voltage difference between the first conduit and the second conduit has a magnitude greater than a first actuation voltage and is in a released state when the voltage difference has a magnitude less than a first release voltage. The second display element is in an actuated state when the voltage difference has a magnitude greater than a second actuation voltage and is in a released state when the voltage difference has a magnitude less than a second release voltage. Either the actuation voltages are substantially equal and the release voltages are different, or the actuation voltages are different and the release voltages are substantially equal.

A ferroelectric liquid crystal device, such as a display panel, has a plurality of pixels arranged as rows and columns in a passive matrix arrangement. Each pixel has a plurality of switching thresholds, for instance by having different regions (7, 8) of different thicknesses, so as to provide a plurality of grey levels. A voltage waveform is applied to each pixel for switching it to a desired grey level. A blanking pulse of a first polarity is applied to reset the pixel to a reset grey level. This is followed by a compensating pulse (20) of polarity opposite the first polarity, after which a waveform for selecting the desired grey level is provided. The effect of the compensating pulse (20) is to reduce the effect of τmin shift so as to provide a relatively wide driving window (13) to allow more reliable selection of an intermediate grey level.
摘要:
A method of driving a liquid crystal device that has a pair of substrates with liquid crystal provided therebetween, and that has regions of different threshold voltages distributed therein utilizes one selected from driving waveforms or a combination of them, such as applying reset pulses for returning molecules or the layer structure of the liquid crystal to the initial state, and setting relaxation duration, the introduction of electric field orientation-processed pulses, black writing, the introduction of superimposed part-included pulses for compensating the transformation of an effective voltage waveform caused by data voltage, and the introduction of high-frequency AC pulses or low-frequency AC pulses for enhancing the stability of memory effects and relaxing the polarization of liquid crystal molecules and the orientation film.
