作为平板显示器的一种, 干涉调制显示器(Interf erometric Modulation Display, IMOD)是运用物理学的干涉效应, 只需耗用少许电量 就能产生亮丽的色彩, 并且在烈日下也能清晰可见。 IM0D显示器的基本单 元是两片镜面夹着一个空隙的微小结构, 这个空隙决定光线照射显示器时 所反射的颜色。  As a kind of flat panel display, Interferometric Modulation Display (IMD) uses the interference effect of physics, which can produce bright colors with a small amount of power and can be clearly seen under the scorching sun. The basic unit of the IM0D display is a tiny structure with two mirrors sandwiching a gap that determines the color that is reflected when the light illuminates the display.
IM0D 显示器与目前液晶显示器(Liquid Crystal Display, LCD)的制 造技术兼容, 其光电特性又让它可以省去制造薄膜晶体管显示器的复杂流 程, 也无需诸如限制 LCD 发光的彩色滤光片和偏振片等元件。 由于 IM0D 显示器是一种光线的反射调制显示器, 其具有强光环境下可视性好、 宽视 角、 高反射率、 双稳态记忆功能、 功耗低等诸多优点, 让它在便携式显示 领域具有无限的前景。 The IM0D display is compatible with the current manufacturing technology of liquid crystal display (LCD), and its photoelectric characteristics make it possible to eliminate the complicated process of manufacturing a thin film transistor display, and eliminate the need for color filters and polarizers such as LCD light limiting. element.

干涉调制显示器是一种微电机系统(Micro-Electro-Mechanical System, MEMS) , 显示像素的基本结构是被薄膜覆盖的玻璃基板, 基板上具 有一层透明导电极, 具有一层反光导电隔膜 (Reflective membrance)覆盖 在基板上, 这层隔膜与玻璃基板间通过气隙 (Air gap)隔离。在未通电的开 启状态 (Open State) , 像素是明亮的, 入射光线在反光隔膜与玻璃基板气 隙间因干涉产生色彩; 向玻璃基板上的电极和隔膜上的电极施加电压, 隔 膜被静电吸引到玻璃上(塌陷状态, Col lapsed State) , 隔膜与玻璃基板间 的气隙厚度减小形成离析态时, 光线的干涉导致像素变黑。 The interferometric modulation display is a micro-electromechanical system (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System, MEMS), the basic structure of the display pixel is a glass substrate covered by a film, the substrate has a transparent conductive electrode, and a reflective conductive membrane covering the substrate, the diaphragm and the glass substrate pass through Air gap isolation. In the unpowered Open State, the pixels are bright, the incident light is interfering with color between the reflective diaphragm and the glass substrate air gap; a voltage is applied to the electrodes on the glass substrate and the electrodes on the diaphragm, and the diaphragm is electrostatically attracted. On the glass (collapsed state, Col lapsed State), when the thickness of the air gap between the diaphragm and the glass substrate is reduced to form an isolated state, the interference of the light causes the pixel to become black.
MEMS驱动的速度快, 让显示像素能在约 10 s内切换显示状态, 消除 了许多其他平板显示器由于切换速度较慢, 而导致的图像模糊问题。  The MEMS drive is fast, allowing display pixels to switch display in about 10 s, eliminating image blurring caused by slower switching speeds in many other flat panel displays.
MEMS 的驱动是由线性机械力与非线性静电力以及表面吸附力的平衡 作用而产生,机械力与静电力的差异,再加上表面吸附力的存在,使得 IM0D 显示器像素的驱动具有迟滞效应, 导致显示的双稳态行为, 也可看作为像 素的记忆功能。 因此, IM0D显示器长时间保持图像稳定的驱动功率极低。  The driving force of MEMS is generated by the balance between linear mechanical force and nonlinear electrostatic force and surface adsorption force. The difference between mechanical force and electrostatic force, coupled with the existence of surface adsorption force, makes the driving of the pixels of IM0D display have hysteresis effect. The bistable behavior that results in the display can also be seen as a memory function of the pixel. Therefore, the IM0D display maintains an image stable driving power for a long time.
由于 IM0D显示器的双稳态特性, 显示器可以在被动模式 (Passive)下 寻址驱动。 IM0D显示器的驱动过程可分为两个时段,一个是寻址驱动时段, 一个是保持驱动时段。 在寻址驱动时段, 驱动电路逐行向行电极线施加扫 描信号, 同时与扫描同歩向各列电极线施加数据信号, 让行列电极线间电 压差处于开放状态电压(Open State Voltage)的显示像素, 从塌陷状态启 动到开放状态; 让行列电极线间电压差处于塌陷状态电压(Col lapsed State Voltage)的显示像素, 从开放状态释放回塌陷状态; 让行列电极线 间电压差处于保持电压 (Hold Voltage)的显示像素, 保持在之前所处的或 开放状态或塌陷状态; 在保持驱动时段, 驱动电路向行电极线和列电极线 施加的信号, 让所有行电极线和所有列电极线间的电压差处于保持电压 (Hold Voltage) , 所有显示像素均保持在之前所处的或开放状态或塌陷状 态。 具体实施方式一  Due to the bistable nature of the IM0D display, the display can be addressed in passive mode (Passive). The driving process of the IM0D display can be divided into two time periods, one is an addressing driving period, and the other is a driving driving period. During the address driving period, the driving circuit applies a scanning signal to the row electrode lines row by row, and simultaneously applies a data signal to the column electrode lines in the same manner as the scanning, so that the voltage difference between the row and column electrodes is in an open state voltage display. The pixel is activated from the collapsed state to the open state; the display pixel that causes the voltage difference between the row and column electrodes to be in the collapsed state voltage is released from the open state to the collapsed state; and the voltage difference between the row and column electrodes is at the holding voltage ( Hold Voltage) The display pixel remains in the previous or open state or collapsed state; during the drive period, the drive circuit applies a signal to the row electrode line and the column electrode line, allowing all row electrode lines and all column electrode lines The voltage difference is at the Hold Voltage and all display pixels remain in the previous or open state or collapsed state.
