Patent number: 9323041Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for dissipating charge buildup within a display element with a conductive layer. The conductive layer is maintained in electrical contact with a fluid within the display element. The fluid, in turn, remains in contact with light modulators within the display elements. Any charge buildup that may be caused by the filling of the fluid during fabrication of the display device, or during operation of the light modulators can be dissipated by the conductive layer. Thus, by dissipating the charge buildup, the conductive layer reduces or eliminates electrostatic forces due to the charge buildup that may affect the operability of the light modulators. The display can include conductive spacers in an active display region of the display and a spacer-free region that allows the substrates to deform while retaining an electrical connection between the conductive layer and the spacers in the active display region.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2012Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: Pixtronix, Inc.Inventors: Eugene E.

Patent number: 9311871Abstract: The present disclosure relates to various techniques, systems, devices, and methods for driving high resolution monitors while reducing artifacts thereon. Data may be stored on pixels of a display such that a first half of the pixels of the display (e.g., arranged in a checkerboard fashion) have data of a first polarity stored on them during a first half of a frame, then a second half of the pixels of the display have data of a second polarity stored on them during a second half of the frame. In such an arrangement, the polarity used to provide data to the pixels may be switched only one time during each frame. The data provided to drive the second half of pixels may be inverted relative to the first half of pixels. The display may use the dot inversion method to provide overall good image quality, yet operate with reduced power consumption.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2012Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventor: Taesung Kim
