Abstract
The binary electrostatic actuation of a MEMS micromirror through relatively large rotation angles by a single, low- voltage SRAM cell forms the basis of a digital optical MEMS switch, or DMD pixel, that is fast, scalable, producible and reliable. Arrays of DMD pixels are monolithically integrated on a CMOS chip and combined with optics, algorithms and a light source to produce unique DLPreg front projection and HDTV products. Examples include DLP pocket-class mobile projectors, 3-D enabled DLP HDTVs and DLP Cinemareg projectors.
