Abstract: The invention relates to methods and apparatus for forming images on a display utilizing a control matrix to control movement of MEMS-based light modulators. A display apparatus includes an array of pixels including a transparent substrate, a plurality of MEMS-based light modulators and a control matrix disposed on the substrate. The control matrix includes, for a pixel in the array of pixels, a write enabling interconnect, and an actuation voltage interconnect, a switch for governing the application of voltage provided by the actuation voltage interconnect to the pixel, and a data voltage interconnect for controlling the switch.

Abstract: A direct-view display comprises a transparent substrate and an array of MEMS light modulators formed on the transparent substrate, wherein each of the light modulators can be driven into at least two states. A control matrix is formed on the transparent substrate for transmitting data and actuation voltages to the array. A controller controls the states of each of the light modulators in the array by obtaining a plurality of sub-frame data sets from a memory, wherein the plurality of sub-frame data sets correspond to an image frame, and each sub-frame data set indicates desired states of light modulators in multiple rows and multiple columns of the array. The controller outputs the plurality of sub-frame data sets according to a changeable output sequence, stored at least partially in memory to drive light modulators into the states indicated in the sub-frame data sets. The output sequence include timing values for events related to the setting of light modulators into desired states for at least two of the plurality of sub-frame data sets.

Abstract: 1/1 resumo "percurso assimétrico para modulador de luz mems" sistemas, aparelhos e métodos são fornecidos para aumentar a razão de abertura de um monitor pelo aumento da distância total de percurso dos respectivos corpos de modulação de luz em um monitor enquanto se mantém altas velocidades de comutação. o aumento na distância total de percurso permite uma razão de abertura maior em um monitor, que fornece maior economia de energia e um brilho de monitor aumentado. a distância total de percurso de um corpo de modulação de luz inclui a distância que o corpo percorre a partir de uma posição aberta para uma posição fechada, e vice-versa. em um exemplo, a distância de percurso de um corpo de modulação de luz (por exemplo, qualquer um dos moduladores de luz como descritos acima) é assimétrica: de uma posição neutra, o corpo percorre uma distância maior em uma primeira direção do que em uma segunda direção.

Abstract: resumo “visor de cor sequencial de campo com uma cor composta” trata-se de um visor que inclui pixels e um controlador. o controlador pode fazer com que os pixels gerem cores correspondentes a um quadro de imagem. o controlador pode fazer com que o visor exiba o quadro de imagem com o uso de conjuntos de imagens de subquadro correspondentes a cores contributivas, de acordo com um processo para formação de imagem de cor sequencial de campo (fsc). as cores contributivas incluem cores componentes e pelo menos uma cor composta, que é substancialmente uma combinação de pelo menos duas cores componentes. um número maior de imagens de subquadro correspondentes a uma primeira cor componente pode ser exibido em relação a um número de imagens de subquadro correspondentes a outra cor componente. o visor pode ser configurado para emitir uma dada luminância de uma cor contributiva para um primeiro pixel ao gerar um primeiro conjunto de estados de pixel e emitir a mesma luminância da cor contributiva para um segundo pixel ao gerar um segundo conjunto diferente de estados de pixel. 1 1/1
