摘要: Embodiments of exemplary MEMS interferometric modulators are arranged at intersections of rows and columns of electrodes. In certain embodiments, the column electrode has a lower electrical resistance than the row electrode. A driving circuit applies a potential difference of a first polarity across electrodes during a first phase and then quickly transition to applying a bias voltage having a polarity opposite to the first polarity during a second phase. In certain embodiments, an absolute value of the difference between the voltages applied to the row electrode is less than an absolute value of the difference between the voltages applied to the column electrode during the first and second phases.

摘要: One embodiment comprises a display controller having two interfaces for receiving video data. In one embodiment, video data that is transmitted to the first of the two interfaces is stored in a frame buffer. Video data that is transmitted to the second of the two interfaces is transmitted independently of the frame buffer and directly to an array driver for display. By limiting the usage of a frame buffer, potential power savings may be achieved. In one embodiment, a client device is manufactured to not include any frame buffer to further reduce manufacturing costs and obtain further power savings.

In one embodiment, an electronic device includes an array of interferometric modulators, and an array driver for the array of interferometric modulators. The array driver is configured to receive video data which at least a portion of is in an interlaced format, to identify a portion of the video data as interlaced format, and to render the identified video data in an interlaced format on the array of interferometric modulators. In another embodiment, a method of displaying information on a bi-stable display includes receiving video data at a device having an interlaced mode of displaying data and a non-interlaced mode of displaying data, identifying at least a portion of the video data as interlaced format, and displaying the interlaced video data on the bi-stable display. In some embodiments the bi-stable display can be an array of interferometric modulators.
