摘要:
An array of MEMS devices having column lines and row lines, such as a light modulator array, is controlled in response to an input signal by providing a number of discrete voltages, multiplexing from the discrete voltages a selected voltage to be applied to each MEMS device of the array, and enabling application of the selected discrete voltage to each MEMS device of the array.

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 charge-controlling mechanism to allow optical properties of the optical cavity to be varied by controlling a predetermined amount of charge stored on the first and the second reflectors. The visible wavelength and/or the intensity are thus 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.

A light delivery device defining an optical path with a feedback device is disclosed. The feedback device dispatches actual illumination characteristics of the light delivery device to a control system, which compares the actual illumination characteristics with desired illumination characteristics to determine an offset for driving the light delivery device.

The present invention provides a data controller for controlling an electrostatically-controlled micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) device having a variable operating characteristic based on control data. The data controller comprises a data comparator and an update circuit. The data comparator is configured to receive control data of a present update cycle, to compare the control data of the present update cycle to control data of a previous update cycle on which the variable operating characteristic of the MEMS device is presently based, and to provide an update signal having a first state when the control data of the present update cycle is substantially equal to the control data of the previous update cycle. The update circuit is configured to receive the control data of the present update cycle, to receive the update signal, and to provide the control data of the present update cycle to the MEMS device, wherein the update circuit does not provide the control data of the present update cycle to the MEMS device when the update signal is in the first state.
