Abstract: This disclosure provides devices, apparatuses and methods of preventing incorporation of bright defects into an image generated by a display apparatus. A display apparatus may include a chromic film that is selectively activated, with the activated regions of the chromic film being colored, light blocking regions that overlie or underlie bright defect pixels of the display apparatus. The remainder of the chromic film is colorless and light transmissive. The chromic film may be provided as a coating on a substrate of the display apparatus. The chromic film may be selectively activated by exposing regions that overlie or underlie bright defect pixels to laser radiation. The laser radiation may induce a photochemical or thermally activated reaction in the chromic film, selectively changing the irradiated regions from colorless and light transmissive to colored and light blocking.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for reducing capacitance between interconnects in a display apparatus. In one aspect, a display apparatus can include a plurality of light modulators each having a shutter suspended over a substrate. A first suspended interconnect can electrically couple a first light modulator and a second light modulator. A majority of the length of the first suspended interconnect can be suspended a first height above the substrate. A second suspended interconnect can electrically couple the first light modulator and a third light modulator. A majority of the length of the second suspended interconnect can be above the substrate at a different height than the first suspended interconnect.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for integrating a photovoltaic cell with a display device. One innovative aspect of the subject matter described in this disclosure can be implemented in a display device that includes a first transparent panel and an array of display elements arranged adjacent the first panel. Each display element includes a shutter-based assembly including at least one shutter and at least one actuator capable of translating the shutter to modulate light. The display device also includes a photovoltaic aperture layer arranged adjacent the first panel. The photovoltaic aperture layer includes an array of apertures, each aperture allowing light from a corresponding display element to pass through the photovoltaic aperture layer for display. The display device further includes an array of conductive leads capable of receiving electrical power generated from the photovoltaic aperture layer.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for providing protective coatings on electromechanical systems (EMS) devices. A display apparatus can include an electrostatic actuation assembly for controlling the position of a suspended portion of a display element. The electrostatic actuation assembly can include a load beam, drive beam, and a coating disposed over a portion of the drive beam. The coating can include a plurality of raised tabs spaced apart from each other. One or both of the size of the raised tabs and a pitch between raised tabs can be varied along a surface of the drive beam. The voltage used to actuate the actuator is, in part, related to the shape and relative position of the load and drive beams. The raised tabs can be sized, spaced, or positioned to affect a desired rest position and rest shape of the drive beam relative to the load beam.
