Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for providing multi-level multi-state shutter assemblies. The shutter assembly includes at least a first shutter at a first height over a substrate and a second shutter at a second height over the substrate. Both the first shutter and the second shutter can be operated in an open or closed state for passing or partially blocking light propagating through an aperture. In some implementations, the shutter assembly can operate in four states: a fully transmissive state, a fully obstructive state and two partially transmissive states based on the open or closed states of the first and second shutters.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for electromechanical systems having sidewalls beams. In one aspect, a device includes a substrate having a first electrode and a second electrode, and a movable shuttle monolithically integrated with the substrate, and having a first wall, a second wall, and a base. The first and second walls each have a first dimension at least four times larger than a second dimension. The first and second walls define substantially parallel vertical sides of the shuttle, and the base is positioned orthogonally to the first and second walls and forms a horizontal bottom of the shuttle, providing structural support to the first and second walls. The first wall and the first electrode define a first capacitor, and the second wall and the second electrode define a second capacitor.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes a plurality of electromechanical systems (EMS) devices disposed on a first surface defined by a face of a substrate. Each EMS device includes a component which is movable in a plane that is substantially parallel to the first surface. The apparatus also includes a second surface positioned proximate to the substrate such that the plurality of EMS devices are located between the first surface and the second surface. In addition, each EMS device includes at least one anti-stiction projection positioned between the movable component and the second surface.
