  • Abstract
    This paper will show how different operating conditions improve the hinge memory lifetime of the Digital Micromirror Device (DMD). The correlation of parametric measurements to physical properties will also be developed. Specific operating conditions explored include the effects of (1) on/off duty cycle, (2) relaxation during nonoperation and (3) reversibility on hinge memory lifetime performance.
