    摘要: Modulator devices are selectably adjustable between at least two states, wherein the transmission and/or reflection of particular wavelengths of light are modified. Certain modulator devices are substantially uniformly adjustable over a wide range of wavelengths, including visible and infrared wavelengths. Other modulator devices are adjustable over visible wavelengths without significantly affecting infrared wavelengths. In addition, the modulator devices may be used in conjunction with fixed thin film reflective structures.

    摘要: A light collection device includes a light guide body and a plurality of spaced-apart slits. The slits are formed by undercuts in the light guide body. Sides of the slits form facets that redirect light impinging on the facets. In some embodiments, the light collection body is attached to a photovoltaic cell. Light impinging on the light collection body is redirected towards the photovoltaic cell by the slits. The photovoltaic cells convert the light into electrical energy.

    摘要: An interferometric mask covers reflective conductors on the back side of a photovoltaic device. Such an interferometric mask may reduce reflections of incident light from the conductors. In various embodiments, the mask reduces reflections, so that a front and back electrode pattern appears black or similar in color to surrounding features of the device. In other embodiments, the mask may modulate reflections of light such that the electrode pattern matches a color in the visible spectrum.

    摘要: Disclosed are methods and systems for testing MEMS devices (e.g., interferometric modulators) so as to induce a moveable element to move from a first position to a second position and to detect the movement. The methods include applying an electrical current to the movable element in the presence of a magnetic field, thereby producing a Lorentz force on the movable element. The force required to move the movable element from the first position to the second position can then be estimated based on the magnitudes and geometric relationships of the electrical current and the magnetic field, and the geometry of the movable element. In some embodiments, the first position may be a movable element adhered to another surface (e.g., a layer on a substrate) due to stiction forces. In these embodiments, the stiction forces can be estimated. In other embodiments, the first position may be a relaxed position, where the movable element is spaced a first distance from a substrate, and the second position may be a second distance from the substrate and/or contacting the substrate. In these embodiments, the springiness (e.g., a spring constant) of support structures supporting the movable element can be estimated.

    摘要: A light guide device includes a light guide body and two or more pluralities of spaced-apart slits. The slits are formed by undercuts in the light guide body. Sidewalls of the slits form facets that redirect light impinging on the facets. In some embodiments, the light guide body is attached to a light source. The light source emits light that is injected into the light guide body and the slits redirect the light out of the light guide body and towards a desired target. In some embodiments, the target is a display and a first plurality of slits directs light from the light source across the light guide body and over the face of the display. A second plurality of slits then directs light out of the light guide body and towards the display.
