    摘要: Embodiments includes methods and systems for updating display devices at a variable refresh rate. One embodiment includes a method of updating an image displayed on a display device. The method includes setting an indicator to a first state that indicates that image data has been received subsequent to a previous update of a display device and periodically updating at least a portion of the display device to display the image. The updating is deferred for at least one period when the indicator is in a state other than the first state. In another embodiment, updates of the display are substantially asynchronous and occur as the processor writes data to one or more shift registers. When a shift register is filled, for example, having received data for a row within the display, the data in the shift register is written to the display. Other embodiments include methods of manufacturing such devices.

    摘要: Disclosed is new architecture of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device. The device has a partially reflective optical layer, a deformable mechanical layer and a mirror layer, each of which forms an independent electrode. A support post separates the optical layer from the mechanical layer. The mirror layer is located and movable between a first position and a second position, which are located between the optical layer and the mechanical layer. The mirror is spaced from the support post, and mirror is responsive to voltages applied to the three electrodes, thereby moving between the first position and the second position. By applying various combinations of voltage differences between the optical layer and the mirror, and between the mirror and the mechanical layer, the location of the mirror between the first and second positions is tunable throughout the space between the two positions. The tunable MEMS device can be used as an analog display element or analog electrical device such as a tunable capacitor. The MEMS device of the disclosed architecture can also be operated in a non-analog manner.

    摘要: A light modulator is arranged as an array of rows and columns of interferometric display elements. Each element is divided into sub-rows of sub-elements. Array connection lines transmit operating signals to the display elements, with one connection line corresponding to one row of display elements in the array. Sub-array connection lines electrically connect to each array connection line. Switches transmit the operating signals from each array connection line to the sub-rows to effect gray scale modulation.

    摘要: An apparatus and method is provided to reduce interference resulting from activation of explosive devices. One type of interference is charge-to-charge interference, and another type of interference is pre-shock interference between a detonating cord and an explosive, such as a shaped charge. To reduce interference, one or more shock impeding elements are placed proximal one or more explosives to impede propagation of shock caused by detonation of the explosives. The shock impeding elements include a porous material, such as a porous liquid or solid. In another arrangement, a shock barrier may be positioned between a detonating cord and an explosive to reduce pre-shock interference. In yet another feature, an encapsulant may be provided around one or more shaped charges to enhance structural support for the shaped charges.
