摘要： A method of driving electromechanical devices such as interferometric modulators includes applying a voltage along a common line to release the electromechanical devices along the common line, followed by applying an address voltage along the common line to actuate selected electromechanical devices along the common line based on voltages applied along segment lines. Hold voltages may be applied along common lines between applications of release and address voltages, and the segment voltages may be selected to be sufficiently small that the segment voltages will not affect the state of the electromechanical devices along other common lines not being written to.

摘要： This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for reducing artifacts in an image generated by a display device. In one aspect, data is written to a display and a position of display elements is maintained based on the application of a hold voltage pattern. The hold voltage pattern includes alternating polarities along one dimension in a pattern, and alternating polarities along a second dimension in a pattern. The polarities of the first and second patterns may be switched in a manner that maintains a substantially constant magnitude voltage across each display element.

摘要： The present invention provides a method and apparatus for storing image data for successive frames in a frame buffer. Specifically, the method and apparatus allow for a display-sized frame buffer to be utilized where a host system provides image data in a format different from that which the display requires to be written to it while retaining the beneficial aspects of concurrent read and write operations from and to the frame buffer. Using this method a buffer controller receives image data from a host system in a first format (e.g. row-by-row) and writes it to the frame buffer in the first format. When the buffer is completely filled with the first frame, it is read out in a second format (e.g. column-by-column) by the buffer controller and provided to a display driver that writes the data to the display. As the first frame is read out in the second format, the buffer controller receives image data for a second frame from the host system in the first format, but rotates it before writing it to the frame buffer such that it is written to the frame buffer in the second format. This rotation allows the buffer controller to write to the frame buffer and the display driver to read from the frame buffer concurrently, despite the different image data format requirements of the host system and display. When the second frame is completely written to the buffer in the second format, the buffer controller then reads the buffer in the first format, and writes it to the display. At this point the process repeats. Thus, the benefits of concurrent read and write are preserved.
