System and method for implementation of interferometric modulator displays

A display device comprising:

• at least first and second interferometric modulators formed on a single substrate, wherein the first interferometric modulator comprises two reflective layers formed in substantially parallel first and second planes;
• wherein the second interferometric modulator comprises two reflective layers formed in substantially parallel third and fourth planes;
• and
• wherein an intersection of the first or second planes with the third or fourth planes forms an angle in a plane perpendicular to the line formed by the intersection, the angle being between 10 and 170 degrees.

A display device comprising:

• at least first and second interferometric modulators formed on a single substrate, wherein the first interferometric modulator includes two reflective layers formed in substantially parallel first and second planes;
• wherein the second interferometric modulator includes two reflective layers formed in substantially parallel third and fourth planes;
• and
• wherein the first, second, third, and fourth planes are separate and substantially parallel planes.

A display device comprising:

• at least first and second interferometric modulators formed on a single substrate, the substrate defining a first plane;
• wherein the first interferometric modulator includes a first reflective layer formed in the first plane and a second reflective layer formed in a second plane;
• wherein the second interferometric modulator includes a third reflective layer formed in the first plane and a fourth reflective layer formed in a third plane;
• and
• wherein the second, and third planes are separate and substantially parallel planes not parallel to the first plane.

A method of displaying to a user a stereoscopic image comprising first and second images, the method comprising:

• providing a system comprising an array of interferometric modulators configured to display stereoscopic images;
• sending electrical signals corresponding to the first and second images to the array;
• displaying the first image to particularly a first eye of the user in response to the electrical signals;
• and
• displaying the second image to particularly a second eye of the user in response to the electrical signals.
