Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for displaying images. A display apparatus includes display elements formed on a transparent substrate. An elevated aperture layer (EAL) is fabricated over the display elements. An opposing substrate is coupled to the transparent substrate, with the display elements and the EAL positioned between the two substrates. To prevent the opposing substrate from coming into contact with the EAL and potentially damaging the EAL or the display elements, a spacer is built from the same materials used to form the display elements and the EAL. The spacer extends to a distance above the transparent substrate beyond upper surface of the EAL and encapsulates layers of polymer material used in creating a mold for the EAL.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for facilitating repair of inoperable MEMS display elements. A display apparatus can include a plurality of display elements over a substrate. Each display element can have a pixel output interconnect. The display apparatus also can include a plurality of conductive bridges each associated with the pixel output interconnects of a respective pair of adjacent display elements. A first conductive bridge can include an electrical connection between the pixel output interconnects of a first pair of adjacent display elements. A second conductive bridge associated with a second pair of adjacent display elements can be electrically isolated from the pixel output interconnects of at least one display element of the second pair of display elements. A laser or other means can be used to form an electrical connection between the first conductive bridge and the respective pair of adjacent display elements.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for locating at least a portion of the routing interconnects on the aperture plate to reduce or completely eliminate bezel space, reduce line resistance, reduce line capacitance and increase power savings. In some implementations, one aspect, the routing interconnects may electrically connect row interconnects from an array of pixels to a row voltage driver. In some implementations, a conductive spacer may be coupled between an aperture plate and a light modulator substrate and may electrically connect at least one row interconnect on the light modulator substrate to at least one routing interconnect on the aperture plate. Some or all of the routing interconnects may run through the display area of the electromechanical device. Some or all of the conductive spacers may make contact with a row interconnect and a routing interconnected within the display area, for example via a conductive contact pad.
