摘要:
A display element (100) corresponds to a pixel of a display. The display element includes a top electrode (102) connected to a first addressable line of the display, and a bottom electrode (104) connected to a second addressable line of the display. The display element includes a display mechanism (106) situated between the top electrode and the bottom electrode and having a number of individually turned-on steps. Each individually turned-on step has a turn-on voltage threshold at which the step is turned on upon a voltage applied between the top and the bottom electrodes equal to or greater than the turn-on voltage threshold. Each individually turned-on step has a turn-off voltage threshold at which the step is turned off upon a voltage applied between the top and the bottom electrodes equal to or less than the turn-off voltage threshold.

A memory structure includes a memory storage element electrically coupled to a control element. The control element comprises a tunnel-junction device. The memory storage element may also comprise a tunnel-junction device. Methods for fusing a tunnel-junction device of a memory storage element without fusing a tunnel-junction device of an associated control element are disclosed. The memory storage element may have an effective cross-sectional area that is greater than an effective cross-sectional area of the control element. A reference element comprising a tunnel-junction device may be used with a current source to fuse a memory storage element without fusing a tunnel-junction device of an associated control element. Methods of making the memory structure and using it in electronic devices are disclosed.

A memory storage device includes a first and second memory cell which each have a top end and a bottom end. A first and second first dimension conductor are substantially coplanar and parallel and extend in a first dimension. The first first dimension conductor intersects the bottom end of the first memory cell and the second first dimension conductor intersects the top end of the second memory cell. A first second dimension conductor extends in a second dimension and intersects the top end of the first memory cell and a second second dimension conductor extends in the second dimension and intersects the bottom end of the second memory cell. A first third dimension conductor which extends in a third dimension is positioned between the first and second memory cell to couple the first second dimension conductor to the second second dimension conductor.

Methods for fusing a tunnel-junction device of a memory storage element without fusing a tunnel-junction device of an associated control element are disclosed. The memory storage element may have an effective cross-sectional area that is greater than an effective cross-sectional area of the control element. A memory structure comprises a memory storage element, a control element comprising a tunnel-junction device electrically coupled to the memory storage element and configured to control the state of the memory storage element, and a reference element. The reference element is configured as a reference to protect the control element when selectively controlling the state of the memory storage element. The reference element may comprise a tunnel-junction device and be used with a current source to fuse a memory storage element without fusing a tunnel-junction device of an associated control element. Methods of making the memory structure and using it in electronic devices are disclosed.
