    摘要: An electronic device of an embodiment of the invention is disclosed that at least partially displays a pixel of a display image. The device includes a first reflector and a second reflector defining an optical cavity therebetween that is selective of a visible wavelength at an intensity. The device includes a mechanism to allow optical properties of the cavity to be varied such that the visible wavelength and/or the intensity are variably selectable in correspondence with the pixel of the displayable image. The device also includes one or more transparent deposited films, one or more absorbing layers, an integral micro-lens, and/or one or more anti-stiction bumps. The deposited films are over one of the reflectors, for self-packaging of the device. The absorbing layers are over one of the reflectors, to reduce undesired reflections. The integral micro-lens is over one of the reflectors, and the anti-stiction bumps are between the reflectors.

    摘要: An electronic device of an embodiment of the invention is for at least partially displaying a pixel of a displayable image. The electronic device includes a first reflector and a second reflector that define an optical cavity therebetween, and which is selective of a visible wavelength at an intensity by optical interference. The electronic device also includes a mechanism to allow optical properties of the optical cavity to be varied. The visible wavelength and/or the intensity are thus variably selectable in correspondence with the pixel of the displayable image.

    摘要: A circuit and method for controlling a micro-electromechanical system is herein disclosed. In one embodiment of a micro-electromechanical system having top and bottom capacitor plates with a pixel plate movably positioned therebetween, a release voltage sufficient to overcome stiction forces adhering the pixel plate to one of the capacitor plates is applied to the pixel plate to cause the pixel plate to be attracted to the pixel plate opposite the capacitor plate to with which the pixel plate is in contact. After the pixel plate has moved a predetermined distance away from the capacitor plate to which it had been adhered by stiction forces, the release voltage is removed. Thereafter, an positional voltage is applied to the pixel plate to move the pixel plate to a desired location between the capacitor plates. Release and positional voltages are coupled to and decoupled from the pixel plate by one or more switching mechanisms.

    摘要: A charge control circuit for controlling a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) device having variable capacitor formed by first conductive plate and a second conductive plate separated by a variable gap distance. The charge control circuit comprises a switch circuit configured to receive a reference voltage having a selected voltage level and configured to respond to an enable signal having a duration at least as long as an electrical time constant constant of the MEMS device, but shorter than a mechanical time constant of the MEMS device, to apply the selected voltage level across the first and second plates for the duration to thereby cause a stored charge having a desired magnitude to accumulate on the variable capacitor, wherein the variable gap distance is a function of the magnitude of the stored charge.

    摘要: An enhanced Spindt-tip field emitter tip and a method for producing the enhanced Spindt-tip field emitter. A thin-film resistive heating element is positioned below the field emitter tip to allow for resistive heating of the tip in order to sharpen the tip and to remove adsorbed contaminants from the surface of the tip. Metal layers of the enhanced field emission device are separated by relatively thick dielectric bilayers, with the metal layers having increased thickness in the proximity of a cylindrical well in which the field emitter tip is deposited. Dielectric material is pulled back from the cylindrical aperture into which the field emitter tip is deposited in order to decrease buildup of conductive contaminants and the possibility of short circuits between metallic layers.
