Sculpted micromirror in a digital micromirror device

A system, comprising:

• a digital micromirror device (DMD) comprising:
• an array of micromirrors comprising a first micromirror and a second micromirror, wherein the first micromirror is in a first reset group and the second micromirror is in a second reset group, wherein the first micromirror has a first sculpted edge, the second micromirror has a second sculpted edge, the first sculpted edge facing the second sculpted edge, wherein the first sculpted edge and the second sculpted edge are configured to create a first gap and a second gap between the first micromirror and the second micromirror, and wherein the first gap is larger than the second gap;
• and
• a reset bus, wherein the reset bus is configured to provide a micromirror clocking pulse to the first reset group.

A method, comprising:

• storing data in a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) memory cell coupled to a micromirror pixel in a digital micromirror device (DMD), where the micromirror pixel comprises a first micromirror;
• receiving a micromirror clocking pulse at the first micromirror via a reset bus, wherein the first micromirror has a first sculpted edge;
• and
• landing the first micromirror in a first state, the first state based on the data stored in the CMOS memory cell, wherein landing the first micromirror comprises landing the first sculpted edge facing a second sculpted edge of a second micromirror, wherein:
• the first sculpted edge and the second sculpted edge are configured to provide a first gap and a second gap between the first micromirror and the second micromirror, wherein the first gap is larger than the second gap.
