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.
Claims30
A display, comprising:
- at least one interferometric modulator configured to selectively reflect green light incident thereon;
- and
- at least one filter associated with the at least one interferometric modulator and configured to selectively transmit visible wavelengths associated with magenta light and substantially filter other visible wavelengths when illuminated with white light.
A method of fabricating a display, comprising:
- forming at least one interferometric modulator configured to selectively reflect green light incident thereon;
- and
- forming a layer of material positioned with respect to said modulator such that light modulated by said at least one interferometric modulator is filtered by said layer of material, wherein said layer of material selectively transmits visible wavelengths associated with magenta light and substantially filters other visible wavelengths when illuminated with white light.
A display, comprising:
- at least one first display element configured to selectively output cyan light;
- and
- at least one second display element configured to selectively output yellow light and positioned proximately to said at least one first display element,
- wherein each of said at least one first display element and said at least one second display element comprises a reflective surface and a partially reflective surface.

A method of fabricating a display, comprising:
- forming at least one first interferometric modulator configured to selectively reflect cyan light incident thereon;
- and
- forming at least one second interferometric modulator proximately to said at least one first interferometric modulator, wherein said at least one second modulator is configured to selectively reflect yellow light incident thereon.
A display, comprising:
- means for outputting green light;
- and
- means for outputting magenta light,
- wherein one of said means for outputting green light and said means for outputting magenta light comprises a microelectromechanical system.
1 more element
A display, comprising:
- means for outputting cyan light;
- and
- means for outputting yellow light,
- wherein said means for outputting cyan light and said means for outputting yellow light comprise microelectromechanical systems.
