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 direct-view display includes an array of MEMS light modulators and a control matrix formed on a transparent substrate, where each light modulator can be driven into at least two states, and a controller for controlling the states of each light modulator in the array. The control matrix transmits data and actuation voltages to the array. The controller includes an input, a processor, a memory, and an output. The input receives image data encoding an image frame for display. The processor derives a plurality of sub-frame data sets from the image data, where each sub-frame data set indicates desired states of light modulators in multiple rows and multiple columns of the array. The memory stores the plurality of sub-frame data sets. The output outputs the plurality of sub-frame data sets according to an output sequence to drive light modulators into the states indicated in the sub-frame data sets.

Abstract translation: 直视型显示器包括形成在透明衬底上的MEMS光调制器阵列和控制矩阵，其中每个光调制器可以被驱动为至少两个状态，以及控制器，用于控制阵列中的每个光调制器的状态。 控制矩阵将数据和致动电压传输到阵列。 控制器包括输入，处理器，存储器和输出。 输入接收编码图像帧的图像数据以供显示。 处理器从图像数据中导出多个子帧数据组，其中每个子帧数据组指示该阵列的多行和多列中的光调制器的期望状态。 存储器存储多个子帧数据集。 输出端根据输出序列输出多个子帧数据组，以将光调制器驱动到子帧数据组中指示的状态。
