Abstract: A projection system, a spatial light modulator, and a method for forming a MEMS device is disclosed. The spatial light modulator can have two substrates bonded together with one of the substrates comprising a micromirror array. The two substrates can be bonded at the wafer level after depositing a getter material and/or solid or liquid lubricant on one or both of the wafers. The wafers can be bonded together hermetically if desired, and the pressure between the two substrates can be below atmosphere.

Abstract: A voltage storage cell circuit includes an access transistor and a storage capacitor, wherein the source of said access transistor is connected to a bitline, the gate of said access transistor is connected to a wordline, and wherein the drain of said access transistor is connected to a first plate of said storage capacitor forming a storage node, and wherein the second plate of said storage capacitor is connected to a pump signal. This arrangement allows for a novel pixel circuit design with area requirements comparable to that of a 1T1C DRAM-like pixel cell, but with the advantage of an output voltage swing of the full range allowed by the breakdown voltage of the pass transistor. A spatial light modulator such as a micromirror array can comprise such a voltage storage cell.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of the present invention is particularly for use in display systems having spatial light modulators in which the pixels present asymmetrical switching delays. For a desired illumination intensity of a pixel, a series of pulse-width-modulation bit values for the pixel is determined based at least in part upon a parameter that characterizes the asymmetrical transition behavior of the pixel between states.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for selectively updating memory cells of a memory cell array are provided. The memory cells of each row of the memory cell array are provided with a plurality of wordlines. Memory cells of the row are activated and updated by separated wordlines. In an application of display systems using memory cell arrays for controlling the pixels of the display system and pulse-width-modulation (PWM) technique for displaying grayscales, the pixels can be modulated by different PWM waveforms. The perceived dynamic-false-contouring artifacts are reduced thereby. In another application, the provision of multiple wordlines enables precise measurements of voltages maintained by memory cells of the memory cell array.

Abstract: Data processing methods and apparatus used in digital display system transpose pixel-by-pixel data into bitplane-by-bitplane data. The methods and apparatus are especially useful for dynamically transposing high-speed flowing-through pixel data in a "real-time" fashion. In a transpose process, a stream of pixel data is received by a plurality of input lines of the transpose apparatus. The received pixel data are delayed by a set of delay units and then permutated by one or more switches according to a predefined delay scheme and permutation rule. After permutation, the stream of data is delayed so as to finalize the transpose process.
