5.1: Invited Paper: A 5.7″ Color Mirasol® XGA Display For High Performance Applications

A 5.7″ color reflective display module based on bi-stable Interference Modulation Devices (IMODs) with a projective capacitive touchscreen is described. The operation of the module is outlined and the performance reported. The system level developments necessary to achieve the high reflectivity, color and video operation while maintaining low power consumption are discussed.

26.1: Invited Paper: Driving mirasol® Displays: Addressing Methods and Control Electronics

A mirasol display uses optical interference based MEMS pixels with inherent hysteresis and is therefore passively addressable with a near zero power hold state. This paper describes methods of addressing such a display including a method providing low power and fast addressing. The correlation between pixel optical state and capacitance allows automated tuning and invisible adjustment of the drive voltages during operation. We further describe display drive circuit architecture showing the IC configuration for a mirasol display.
