The invention comprises systems and methods for adjusting a driving voltage based on relaxation information of a movable reflective layer of an interferometric modulator. In one example, a device for driving a MEMS device having a movable reflective layer comprises a sensing unit configured to generate information related to one or more of time, environmental exposure, and frame rate of a movable reflective layer of at least one MEMS device, and a driver circuit configured to apply voltages to drive said at least one MEMS device, said voltages being based at least in part on said information.
A device for driving a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device in a display, said MEMS device having a movable reflective layer, comprising:
A method of controlling a driving voltage of a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device having a movable reflective layer, the method comprising:
A control device for driving at least one microelectromechanical (MEMS) device in a display, said at least one MEMS device having a movable reflective layer, comprising:
-28. (canceled)
A method of driving a MEMS device, comprising reducing bias voltage according to a pre-defined time schedule based on a predicted relaxation of a movable reflective layer of the MEMS device.
The method of claim 30, wherein said reducing is performed is a step-wise manner.
