    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: A display apparatus includes an array of light modulators. Each light modulator has a first actuator configured to drive the light modulator into a first state and a second actuator configured to drive the light modulator into a second state. The display apparatus also includes a control matrix including for each light modulator in the array a single actuation voltage interconnect. The actuation voltage interconnect is configured to apply a first drive voltage to the first actuator of the light modulator and apply a second drive voltage to the second actuator of the light modulator. In addition the actuation voltage interconnect is configured to control application of a data voltage to a latch circuit to control the application of the first and second drive voltages to the first and second actuators.
