Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for controlling the states of a light modulator used in displays. A display apparatus includes pixels circuit for controlling the state of operation of dual actuator light modulators. The pixel circuit can be implemented using three transistors and a capacitor. In particular, the pixel circuit can include a charge-discharge transistor, a data transistor, and a feedback transistor. The charge-discharge transistor is used to both selectively charge and selectively discharge an output node of the pixel circuit coupled to the light modulator. The data transistor enables loading a data capacitor with data voltage representative of image data. The feedback transistor provides positive feedback to allow the output node to be charged to the actuation voltage via the charge-discharge transistor.

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.
