    摘要: One embodiment comprises a display controller having two interfaces for receiving video data. In one embodiment, video data that is transmitted to the first of the two interfaces is stored in a frame buffer. Video data that is transmitted to the second of the two interfaces is transmitted independently of the frame buffer and directly to an array driver for display. By limiting the usage of a frame buffer, potential power savings may be achieved. In one embodiment, a client device is manufactured to not include any frame buffer to further reduce manufacturing costs and obtain further power savings.

    摘要: Embodiments of exemplary MEMS interferometric modulators are arranged at intersections of rows and columns of electrodes. In certain embodiments, the column electrode has a lower electrical resistance than the row electrode. A driving circuit applies a potential difference of a first polarity across electrodes during a first phase and then quickly transition to applying a bias voltage having a polarity opposite to the first polarity during a second phase. In certain embodiments, an absolute value of the difference between the voltages applied to the row electrode is less than an absolute value of the difference between the voltages applied to the column electrode during the first and second phases.

    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.
