US Patent:
7508569, Mar 24, 2009
Filed:
Nov 8, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/557769
Inventors:
Tore Nauta - Menlo Park CA, US
Assignee:
Spatial Photonics, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
G02B 26/00
US Classification:
359290
Abstract:
Methods for driving a plurality of MEMS devices in an apparatus are described. A voltage pulse is applied to an electrode or a structure portion of a MEMS device. The electrode is on the substrate underneath the structure portion. At least two MEMS devices of the plurality of MEMS devices have different threshold voltages, and the threshold voltage is the minimum voltage required to move the structure portion. A bias voltage is applied to whichever of the electrode or the structure portion of the MEMS device does not have the voltage pulse applied thereto. The bias voltage and the voltage pulse are capable of moving the structure portion of the MEMS device that has the higher threshold voltage of the different threshold voltages.

Appl. No.:
12/760465
Inventors:
David L. Medin - Los Altos CA, US
Tore Nauta - Los Gatos CA, US
Assignee:
Spatial Photonics, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
G02B 26/08
US Classification:
3592231
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus for resetting a micro-mirror devices. In one aspect, a micro-mirror device includes a mirror plate tiltable about a hinge, two electrodes located on different sides of the hinge, a memory storing state data for the electrodes, and a state modifier operable to receive the state data for the electrodes from the memory and, during a reset of the mirror plate, change the state for at least one of the electrodes from the state specified by the state data stored in memory to a different state.

Method And System For Resonant Operation Of A Reflective Spatial Light Modulator

View page
US Patent:
20070258124, Nov 8, 2007
Filed:
May 4, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/429376
Inventors:
Dongmin Chen - Saratoga CA, US
Tore Nauta - Menlo Park CA, US
Assignee:
Miradia Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
G02F 1/03
US Classification:
359245000
Abstract:
A method of activating a micro-mirror includes applying a first electrode voltage to one or more electrodes associated with the micro-mirror. The micro-mirror is positioned at a first positive deflection angle during a portion of the application of the first electrode voltage. The method also includes maintaining the first electrode voltage for a first predetermined time and applying a second electrode voltage to the one or more electrodes. The micro-mirror rotates to a first negative deflection angle during a portion of the application of the second electrode voltage. The method further includes maintaining the second electrode voltage for a second predetermined time and applying a third electrode voltage to the one or more electrodes. The micro-mirror is positioned at a second positive deflection angle greater than the first positive deflection angle during a portion of the application of the third electrode voltage.

Appl. No.:
17/887148
Inventors:
- Cupertino CA, US
Saif Choudhary - San Jose CA, US

Current-Voltage Driving For Led Display System

View page
US Patent:
20230089957, Mar 23, 2023
Filed:
Aug 12, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/887136
Inventors:
- Cupertino CA, US
Saif Choudhary - San Jose CA, US
Tore Nauta - Santa Cruz CA, US
International Classification:
G09G 3/32
H05B 45/14
Abstract:
A display device includes a voltage source that provides a voltage and a current source that provides a current. The display device also includes light emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit light to display an image on the display device. Additionally, the display device includes pixel driving circuitry that drives the LEDs using the voltage or the current. In particular, the pixel driving circuitry provides the LEDs with the voltage from the voltage source for a first period of time to enable the LEDs to reach an illumination threshold. Moreover, the pixel driving circuitry, after providing the voltage from the voltage source for the first period of time, drives the LEDs using the current from the current source to cause the LEDs to emit light substantially uninterrupted when changing between providing the voltage from the voltage source to driving the one or more LEDs using the current source.

Super Pixel Architecture For High Dynamic Range

US Patent:
20230091644, Mar 23, 2023
Filed:
Jun 29, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/853261
Inventors:
- Cupertino CA, US
Saif Choudhary - San Jose CA, US
Xia Li - San Jose CA, US
Tore Nauta - Santa Cruz CA, US
International Classification:
G09G 3/20
G09G 3/3233
Abstract:
A display system of a display includes a first light emitting diode, a second light emitting diode, a current source, and at least one transistor. The first and the second light emitting diodes emit light. The current source provides a constant current to the first light emitting diode and the second light emitting diode. Moreover, the at least one transistor removes the current or shunts the current towards the first light emitting diode, the second light emitting diode, or both. Removing the current or shunting the current towards the first light emitting diode, the second light emitting diode, or both, may blend outputs of the first light emitting diode and the second light emitting diode.
