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:
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.

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.

A control circuit for a MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System) has a semiconductor switch which has a source, a drain and a gate, which is associated with a selected one of spatially arranged fixed and movable plates of a variable capacitor, and is arranged to selectively connect the selected one of the fixed and movable plates with a voltage source. A charge injection control circuit is associated with the semiconductor switch and attenuates current injection into the selected one of the fixed and movable plates of the capacitor.

A method is disclosed for spreading a non-periodic color signal sent to a spatial light modulator across a frame period. The method can include the operation of dividing a frame period into a plurality of time slices. A further operation can be assigning a color to each of the plurality time slices. Another operation can be interleaving one or more colors assigned to the time slices across the frame period in a non-periodic manner.

A system of an embodiment of the invention includes an array of micro-electromechanical (MEM) device assemblies and a testing mechanism situated outside of the array of the MEM device assemblies. Each MEM device assembly includes a MEM device capable of being individually written to, but incapable of being electrically read. The testing mechanism tests each MEM device assembly for proper operation without directly reading the MEM device of the MEM device assembly.

The present invention provides a voltage driven array having an array of discrete elements arranged in at least one row and plurality of columns. A resistive element has a first end and a second end provided with a first voltage and a second voltage respectively. The first voltage is different from the second voltage. Positions along the resistive element connect to each of the rows or columns such that each of the different positions along the resistive element supplies a different voltage to the respective row or column than a remainder of the positions.
