Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus related to an electromechanical display device. In one aspect, an analog interferometric modulator (AIMOD) includes a reflective display pixel having a movable reflective layer and a stationary absorber layer, the reflective layer and absorber layer defining a cavity therebetween. A color notch filter may be employed to produce an improved white state. In some implementations, the color notch filter is positioned on a side of the substrate opposite the absorber layer. In some other implementations, the color notch filter is positioned between the substrate and the movable reflective layer.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for increasing a range of stable travel positions of a movable layer within electromechanical systems (EMS) devices. In one aspect, an electrically isolated floating electrode can be disposed between a driving electrode within a movable layer and a fixed electrode in order to increase a stable travel range of the movable layer. By segmenting the electrically isolated floating electrode into multiple isolated electrode segments, unbalanced charge accumulation in response to tilting of the movable layer can be constrained to further increase the stable travel range of the movable layer.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for combined optical touch and gesture sensing systems. In one aspect, a bezel surrounding a display surface includes multiple output surfaces which can be configured to direct infrared light both across a device surface to detect touch input and into the area overlying the device surface to detect gesture input.

In one aspect, the touch and gesture sensing may be performed in an alternating fashion rather than simultaneously, allowing some components of the combined touch and gesture sensing system to be used in the detection of both touch and gesture.
