Abstract

Iridigm has produced the first color MOEMS based reflective display. The display relies on a family of MOEM devices that are called Interferometric Modulators or iMoDs. With dimensions of 240 × 160 pixels at 100 dpi, it exhibits contrast and brightness that is comparable or superior to existing LCD based solutions. The particular combination of characteristics within these devices is what provides for the improved performance, and facilitates the manufacture of such displays as well. These characteristics, their impact on display performance as well as the overall display system will be described and discussed.
