    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for a multi-state shutter assembly. The multi-state shutter assembly can be used in an electronic display. The shutter assembly can include a movable light obstructing component. The shutter assembly also can include first and second actuators configured to move the light obstructing component between three states, including a fully light obstructive state, a substantially transmissive state, and a partially transmissive state. At least one of the three states is a neutral state in which both the first and second actuators are in an unactuated state. The shutter assembly also can include a controller configured to control the first and second actuator to selectively move the light obstructing component into each of the three states.

    Abstract: An electromechanical device includes a movable body that is movable along an axis of a direction of motion. The device also includes an actuator beam and a compliant support beam arranged to support the movable body. The compliant support beam includes a first end connected to an anchor and an actuating portion extending from the anchor and in a direction that is transverse to the axis of the direction of motion and away from the anchor. The actuating portion is also arranged adjacently and spaced apart from the actuator beam. The compliant support beam also includes a connector portion that is contiguous with the actuating portion and coupled to the movable body. The connector portion extends at least partially back toward the anchor while being arranged adjacently and spaced apart from the actuating portion.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for providing relatively thinner and less stiff compliant beams for a shutter assembly. A protective coating is deposited and patterned over the shutter assembly before it is released from a sacrificial mold over which the shutter assembly is formed. Because some primary surfaces of the compliant beams are in contact with the sacrificial mold, these primary surfaces are not coated with the protective coating. Therefore, when the shutter assembly is finally released, the resulting compliant beams are relatively thinner and less stiff providing a reduction in an actuation voltage used to operate the shutter assembly. In some instances, the protective coating is patterned into discontinuous segments before release.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides display-related systems, methods, and apparatus. A display apparatus can include an array of display elements and an address-selector architecture for addressing and loading data into the array of display elements. The address-selector architecture can include a plurality of bank drive interconnects that can provide write enable voltages. Each of a plurality of scan-line interconnects, where each scan-line interconnect is coupled to one row of display elements, is selectively electrically connected to one bank drive interconnect via a transistor. The scan-line interconnects and their corresponding transistors are grouped into a number of row-banks, where the row-banks can include unequal number of scan-line interconnects. The gate terminals of the transistors in each row-bank are connected to a bank-control interconnect. A bank control interconnect driver provides voltages to the bank-control interconnects for selectively turning the transistors in each bank ON and OFF.
