Abstract:
A light modulator pixel unit and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The light modulator pixel unit includes top, movable and bottom electrodes. Under control of a control circuit, the movable electrode may shift to first, second and third positions corresponding to modulations of first, second and third monochromatic lights, respectively. When the movable electrode is at a certain position, the incident light corresponding to the position may be divided into two parts, one is reflected by the top electrode, and the other one may bypass the top electrode and be reflected by the movable electrode. The two parts may interfere destructively. The light modulator pixel unit of the present invention can control monochromatic lights of three special wavelengths by time division, and enable color control and gray control. The unit is applicable in the field of projection display and panel system.

A charge pump includes a first voltage input node, a second voltage input node, a voltage output node, at least a flying capacitor, an energy reserve capacitor, a first MEMS switches group controlled by a controlling signal, a second MEMS switches group controlled by the controlling signal, a third MEMS switches group controlled by the controlling signal and a forth MEMS switches group controlled by the controlling signal. The flying capacitor is connected with the first voltage input node and the second voltage input node via the first MEMS switches group. The flying capacitor is connected with the first voltage input node or the second voltage input node via the second MEMS switches group. The energy reserve capacitor is connected with the flying capacitor via the third MEMS switches group. The energy reserve capacitor is connected with the voltage output node and the second voltage input node. When a clock controls the first MEMS switches group to turn on, and the second MEMS switches group and the third MEMS switches group to turn off, the flying capacitor is charged up through the first voltage input node and the second voltage input node. When the clock controls the first MEMS switches group to turn off, and the second MEMS switches group and the third MEMS switches group to turn on, the energy reserve capacitor is charged up through the flying capacitor and the second voltage input node. Through MEMS technology, miniaturization and integration of the charge pump are achieved, and power consumption is reduced, and energy conversion efficiency is improved.

A gas mixture comprised of nitric oxide and one or more impurities selected from nitrous oxide, nitrogen dioxide, nitrous acid, sulfur dioxide, carbonyl sulfide, water vapor and carbon dioxide is purified by pressure swing adsorption or temperature swing adsorption using a porous, metal-free polymer adsorbent that does not promote the disproportionation of nitric oxide to nitrogen dioxide and nitrogen or nitrous oxide. The adsorption step is preferably carried out at tempereatures in the range of about −120 to about 0° C.
