Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus related to electromechanical systems display devices. In one aspect, an apparatus includes a display assembly, a sensor, and a processor. The display assembly may include an array of electromechanical systems display devices. The sensor may be configured to provide a signal indicative of an illumination angle, a viewing angle, or both, with respect to a line perpendicular to the display assembly. The processor may be configured to receive the signal from the sensor, to determine the illumination angle and/or viewing angle, and to process image data to compensate for the determined illumination angle and/or viewing angle. In one implementation, the image data is processed to compensate for a shift in a wavelength of light reflected from at least one of the electromechanical systems display devices that would have occurred as a result of a non-normal illumination and/or viewing angle.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for annealing an oxide semiconductor in a thin film transistor (TFT). In one aspect, the method includes providing a substrate with a partially fabricated TFT structure formed on the substrate. The partially fabricated TFT structure can include an oxide semiconductor layer and a dielectric oxide layer on the oxide semiconductor layer. The oxide semiconductor layer is annealed by heating the dielectric oxide layer with an infrared laser under ambient conditions to a temperature below the melting temperature of the oxide semiconductor layer. The infrared laser radiation can be substantially absorbed by the dielectric oxide layer and can remove unwanted defects from the oxide semiconductor layer at an interface in contact with the dielectric oxide layer.

Abstract: Various implementations described herein involve multi-state interferometric modulators (MS-IMODs) without dielectric layers capable of affecting optical performance formed on the mirrors. The MS-IMODs disclosed herein may include a novel combination of high refractive index and low refractive index layers in the absorber stack. Some such MS-IMODs include absorber stacks having an absorber layer, a first high-index layer disposed between the absorber layer and the substrate, a low-index layer disposed between the absorber layer and the first high-index layer and a second high-index layer disposed on a side of the absorber layer facing the mirror. The absorber stack and the mirror may define a gap therebetween and may be capable of being positioned in a plurality of positions relative to one another to form a plurality of gap heights. In some implementations, the closest position corresponds with a black state gap height.
