Systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing a versatile MEMS-based display

A system, comprising:

• control circuitry;
• a display, the display comprising:
• a plurality of pixels corresponding to a plurality of subsets of the display;
• and
• a plurality of micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) actuators,
• wherein the control circuitry is configured to cause each respective MEMS actuator of the plurality of MEMS actuators to control an orientation of a respective pixel of the plurality of pixels by causing a first subset of the plurality of MEMS actuators to modify orientations of a corresponding first subset of the plurality of pixels associated with a first viewing position in an environment of the display;
• and
• wherein the control circuitry is configured to cause the first subset of the plurality of pixels having the modified orientations to display particular content directed to the first viewing position, wherein the particular content is obscured from a second viewing position of the environment,
• wherein the display further comprises, for each respective pixel of the plurality of pixels:
• a MEMS rod configured to enable a height of the respective pixel to be adjusted, and
• wherein the control circuitry is further configured to cause the first subset of the plurality of MEMS actuators to modify the orientations of the corresponding first subset of the plurality of pixels associated with the first viewing position in the environment of the display based at least in part on adjusting a height of at least one pixel of the first subset of the plurality of pixels using at least one MEMS rod.
