摘要： Methods for driving a plurality of MEMS devices in an apparatus are described. A voltage pulse is applied to an electrode or a structure portion of a MEMS device. The electrode is on the substrate underneath the structure portion. At least two MEMS devices of the plurality of MEMS devices have different threshold voltages, and the threshold voltage is the minimum voltage required to move the structure portion. A bias voltage is applied to whichever of the electrode or the structure portion of the MEMS device does not have the voltage pulse applied thereto. The bias voltage and the voltage pulse are capable of moving the structure portion of the MEMS device that has the higher threshold voltage of the different threshold voltages.

摘要： A method of activating a micro-mirror includes applying a first electrode voltage to one or more electrodes associated with the micro-mirror. The micro-mirror is positioned at a first positive deflection angle during a portion of the application of the first electrode voltage. The method also includes maintaining the first electrode voltage for a first predetermined time and applying a second electrode voltage to the one or more electrodes. The micro-mirror rotates to a first negative deflection angle during a portion of the application of the second electrode voltage. The method further includes maintaining the second electrode voltage for a second predetermined time and applying a third electrode voltage to the one or more electrodes. The micro-mirror is positioned at a second positive deflection angle greater than the first positive deflection angle during a portion of the application of the third electrode voltage.

摘要： A spatial light modulator for use in display applications. The spatial light modulator includes a support substrate and a flexible member coupled to the support substrate. The spatial light modulator also includes a mirror plate coupled to the flexible member and characterized by an activated position. The mirror plate is adapted to rotate in relation to the flexible member from the activated position to a second activated position in a time less than 6.0 μs.

摘要： Matrix display devices are addressed, using a multiple line addressing method. In such a method, two or more paired lines are addressed at the same time and receive the same luminance value data. A method is provided where the line multiplet is shifted by a number of lines (preferably one) for two successive subframes, and where the average of the values over the subframes is equal to the original luminance value data. Further improvements of the method comprise clipping of out-of-range values, and flicker reduction by limiting the differences between the luminance values for two successive frames.
