Abstract: 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.

Abstract: An iterferometric modulator is formed having a dielectric with charge persistence. The interferometric modulator is addressed by a method making advantageous use of the charge persistence property, wherein the interferometric modulator is pre-charged in such a way that the pre-charging is not observable to a viewer, and the actuation voltage threshold of the imod is significantly lowered. Subsequently the interferometric modulator may be actuated with a significantly lower actuation voltage, thereby saving power.

Abstract: 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.
