Abstract
A method and device for manipulating color in a display is disclosed. In one embodiment, a display comprises interferometric display elements formed to have spectral responses that produce white light. In one embodiment, the produced white light is characterized by a standardized white point.
Claims38
A display, comprising:
- a plurality of interferometric modulators, said plurality of interferometric modulators comprising:
- at least one interferometric modulator configured to output red light;
- at least one interferometric modulator configured to output green light;
- and
- at least one interferometric modulator configured to output blue light,
- wherein said red light, said green light, and said blue light combine to produce white light having a standardized white point.
3 more elements
A display, comprising:
- at least one interferometric modulator, said modulator comprising a reflective surface configured to be positioned at a distance from a partially reflective surface, wherein said distance of said at least one modulator is selected so as to produce white light characterized by a standardized white point.
A display, comprising:
- a plurality of display elements, each comprising a reflective surface configured to be positioned at a distance from a partially reflective surface, said plurality of display elements configured to output white light characterized by a standardized white point.
A method of fabricating a display, comprising:
- forming a plurality of display elements configured to output light, each of said plurality of display elements comprising a reflective surface configured to be positioned at distance from a partially reflective surface, wherein each of said plurality of display elements is formed having said respective distances selected so that white light produced by said plurality display element is characterized by a standardized white point.
A method of fabricating a display, comprising:
- forming a plurality of display elements configured to output light, each of said plurality of display elements comprising a reflective surface configured to be positioned at distance from partially reflective surface,
- wherein each of said display elements are formed with respective areas from which light is reflected and wherein each of said respective areas is selected so that white light produced by said plurality display element is characterized by a standardized white point.
A display, comprising:
- first means for outputting light;
- second means for outputting light;
- and
- third means for outputting light, wherein said output light of said first, second, and third means is combined to produce white light characterized by a standardized white point, said first, second, and third means comprising microelectromechanical systems.
