2. Description of the Related Technology
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) include micro mechanical elements, actuators, and electronics. Micromechanical elements may be created using deposition, etching, and or other micromachining processes that etch away parts of substrates and/or deposited material layers or that add layers to form electrical and electromechanical devices. One type of MEMS device is called an interferometric modulator. As used herein, the term interferometric modulator or interferometric light modulator refers to a device that selectively absorbs and/or reflects light using the principles of optical interference. In certain embodiments, an interferometric modulator may have a pair of conductive plates, one or both of which may be transparent and/or reflective in whole or part and capable of relative motion upon application of an appropriate electrical signal. In this type of device, one plate may be a stationary layer deposited on a substrate and the other plate may be a metallic membrane separated from the stationary layer by an air gap. The position of one plate in relation to another can change the optical interference of light incident on the interferometric modulator. Such devices have a wide range of applications, and it would be beneficial in the art to utilize and/or modify the characteristics of these types of devices so that their features can be exploited in improving existing products and creating new products that have not yet been developed.
The system, method, and devices of the invention each have several aspects, no single one of which is solely responsible for its desirable attributes. Without limiting the scope of this invention, its more prominent features will now be discussed briefly. After considering this discussion, and particularly after reading the section entitled “Detailed Description of Certain Embodiments” one will understand how the features of this invention provide advantages over other display devices.
One embodiment is an electronic device, including a substrate, an array of interferometric light modulators formed on the substrate, and a plurality of interconnects formed adjacent a plurality of the interferometric modulators, where each interconnect is configured to connect a single light modulator to a circuit.
Another embodiment is a method of manufacturing an electronic device, the method including providing a substrate including an array of interferometric light modulators formed on the substrate, and forming a plurality of interconnects adjacent a plurality of the interferometric modulators, where each interconnect is configured to connect a single light modulator to a circuit.
Another embodiment is an electronic device, including a substrate, and an interferometric modulator disposed on the substrate. The interferometric modulator includes a cavity defined by an upper layer and a lower layer, and an encapsulation layer formed adjacent to the interferometric modulator. The encapsulation layer has an electrical connection that connects the interferometric modulator to an electronic circuit, and the encapsulation layer hermetically seals the cavity from the ambient environment.
Another embodiment is a method of manufacturing a light modulator device. This method includes forming an interferometric modulator having first and second layers defining a cavity and configured to interferometrically modulate light, forming an encapsulation layer adjacent to the cavity, the layer including one or more orifices, inducing a vacuum or inert atmosphere in the cavity, and sealing the one or more holes where the sealing maintains the vacuum or inert atmosphere in the cavity.
Another embodiment is an electronic device, including means for transmitting light, an array of means for modulating light formed on the transmitting means, and a plurality of means for interconnecting formed adjacent a plurality of the light modulating means, where each of the interconnecting means is configured to connect a single light modulating means to a circuit.
The following detailed description is directed to certain specific embodiments of the invention. However, the invention can be embodied in a multitude of different ways. In this description, reference is made to the drawings wherein like parts are designated with like numerals throughout. As will be apparent from the following description, the embodiments may be implemented in any device that is configured to display an image, whether in motion (e.g., video) or stationary (e.g., still image), and whether textual or pictorial. More particularly, it is contemplated that the embodiments may be implemented in or associated with a variety of electronic devices such as, but not limited to, mobile telephones, wireless devices, personal data assistants (PDAs), hand-held or portable computers, GPS receivers/navigators, cameras, MP3 players, camcorders, game consoles, wrist watches, clocks, calculators, television monitors, flat panel displays, computer monitors, auto displays (e.g., odometer display, etc.), cockpit controls and/or displays, display of camera views (e.g., display of a rear view camera in a vehicle), electronic photographs, electronic billboards or signs, projectors, architectural structures, packaging, and aesthetic structures (e.g., display of images on a piece of jewelry). MEMS devices of similar structure to those described herein can also be used in non-display applications such as in electronic switching devices.
Some embodiments include an interferometric modulator with one or more additional features. One additional feature is an encapsulation layer which hermetically seals the interferometric modulator, and which may have one or more electrical connections to the interferometric modulator. Another additional feature is a connection bump formed near the interferometric modulator and configured to make an electrical connection to an electronic circuit. In some embodiments electrical circuitry may be included between the interferometric modulators and the bumps, and the electrical circuitry may connect to either or both of the interferometric modulators and the bumps.
One interferometric modulator display embodiment comprising an interferometric MEMS display element is illustrated in
The depicted portion of the pixel array in
The optical stacks 16a and 16b (collectively referred to as optical stack 16), as referenced herein, typically comprise of several fused layers, which can include an electrode layer, such as indium tin oxide (ITO), a partially reflective layer, such as chromium, and a transparent dielectric. The optical stack 16 is thus electrically conductive, partially transparent and partially reflective, and may be fabricated, for example, by depositing one or more of the above layers onto a transparent substrate 20. The partially reflective layer can be formed from a variety of materials that are partially reflective such as various metals, semiconductors, and dielectrics. Some examples of suitable materials include oxides, nitrides, and fluorides. Other examples include germanium (Ge), nickel silicide (NiSi), molybdenum (Mo), titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), and platinum (Pt). The partially reflective layer can be formed of one or more layers of materials, and each of the layers can be formed of a single material or a combination of materials.
In some embodiments, the layers of the optical stack are patterned into parallel strips, and may form row electrodes in a display device as described further below. The movable reflective layers 14a, 14b may be formed as a series of parallel strips of a deposited metal layer or layers (orthogonal to the row electrodes of 16a, 16b) deposited on top of posts 18 and an intervening sacrificial material deposited between the posts 18. When the sacrificial material is etched away, the movable reflective layers 14a, 14b are separated from the optical stacks 16a, 16b by a defined gap 19. A highly conductive and reflective material such as aluminum may be used for the reflective layers 14, and these strips may form column electrodes in a display device.
With no applied voltage, the cavity 19 remains between the movable reflective layer 14a and optical stack 16a, with the movable reflective layer 14a in a mechanically relaxed state, as illustrated by the pixel 12a in
In one embodiment, the processor 21 is also configured to communicate with an array driver 22. In one embodiment, the array driver 22 includes a row driver circuit 24 and a column driver circuit 26 that provide signals to a display array or panel 30. The cross section of the array illustrated in
In typical applications, a display frame may be created by asserting the set of column electrodes in accordance with the desired set of actuated pixels in the first row. A row pulse is then applied to the row 1 electrode, actuating the pixels corresponding to the asserted column lines. The asserted set of column electrodes is then changed to correspond to the desired set of actuated pixels in the second row. A pulse is then applied to the row 2 electrode, actuating the appropriate pixels in row 2 in accordance with the asserted column electrodes. The row 1 pixels are unaffected by the row 2 pulse, and remain in the state they were set to during the row 1 pulse. This may be repeated for the entire series of rows in a sequential fashion to produce the frame. Generally, the frames are refreshed and/or updated with new display data by continually repeating this process at some desired number of frames per second. A wide variety of protocols for driving row and column electrodes of pixel arrays to produce display frames are also well known and may be used in conjunction with the present invention.
In the
The display device 40 includes a housing 41, a display 30, an antenna 43, a speaker 44, an input device 48, and a microphone 46. The housing 41 is generally formed from any of a variety of manufacturing processes as are well known to those of skill in the art, including injection molding, and vacuum forming. In addition, the housing 41 may be made from any of a variety of materials, including but not limited to plastic, metal, glass, rubber, and ceramic, or a combination thereof. In one embodiment the housing 41 includes removable portions (not shown) that may be interchanged with other removable portions of different color, or containing different logos, pictures, or symbols.
The display 30 of exemplary display device 40 may be any of a variety of displays, including a bi-stable display, as described herein. In other embodiments, the display 30 includes a flat-panel display, such as plasma, EL, OLED, STN LCD, or TFT LCD as described above, or a non-flat-panel display, such as a CRT or other tube device, as is well known to those of skill in the art. However, for purposes of describing the present embodiment, the display 30 includes an interferometric modulator display, as described herein.
The components of one embodiment of exemplary display device 40 are schematically illustrated in
The network interface 27 includes the antenna 43 and the transceiver 47 so that the exemplary display device 40 can communicate with one ore more devices over a network. In one embodiment the network interface 27 may also have some processing capabilities to relieve requirements of the processor 21. The antenna 43 is any antenna known to those of skill in the art for transmitting and receiving signals. In one embodiment, the antenna transmits and receives RF signals according to the IEEE 802.11 standard, including IEEE 802.11(a), (b), or (g). In another embodiment, the antenna transmits and receives RF signals according to the BLUETOOTH standard. In the case of a cellular telephone, the antenna is designed to receive CDMA, GSM, AMPS or other known signals that are used to communicate within a wireless cell phone network. The transceiver 47 pre-processes the signals received from the antenna 43 so that they may be received by and further manipulated by the processor 21. The transceiver 47 also processes signals received from the processor 21 so that they may be transmitted from the exemplary display device 40 via the antenna 43.
In an alternative embodiment, the transceiver 47 can be replaced by a receiver. In yet another alternative embodiment, network interface 27 can be replaced by an image source, which can store or generate image data to be sent to the processor 21. For example, the image source can be a digital video disc (DVD) or a hard-disc drive that contains image data, or a software module that generates image data.
Processor 21 generally controls the overall operation of the exemplary display device 40. The processor 21 receives data, such as compressed image data from the network interface 27 or an image source, and processes the data into raw image data or into a format that is readily processed into raw image data. The processor 21 then sends the processed data to the driver controller 29 or to frame buffer 28 for storage. Raw data typically refers to the information that identifies the image characteristics at each location within an image. For example, such image characteristics can include color, saturation, and gray-scale level.
In one embodiment, the processor 21 includes a microcontroller, CPU, or logic unit to control operation of the exemplary display device 40. Conditioning hardware 52 generally includes amplifiers and filters for transmitting signals to the speaker 45, and for receiving signals from the microphone 46. Conditioning hardware 52 may be discrete components within the exemplary display device 40, or may be incorporated within the processor 21 or other components.
The driver controller 29 takes the raw image data generated by the processor 21 either directly from the processor 21 or from the frame buffer 28 and reformats the raw image data appropriately for high speed transmission to the array driver 22. Specifically, the driver controller 29 reformats the raw image data into a data flow having a raster-like format, such that it has a time order suitable for scanning across the display array 30. Then the driver controller 29 sends the formatted information to the array driver 22. Although a driver controller 29, such as a LCD controller, is often associated with the system processor 21 as a stand-alone Integrated Circuit (IC), such controllers may be implemented in many ways. They may be embedded in the processor 21 as hardware, embedded in the processor 21 as software, or fully integrated in hardware with the array driver 22.
Typically, the array driver 22 receives the formatted information from the driver controller 29 and reformats the video data into a parallel set of waveforms that are applied many times per second to the hundreds and sometimes thousands of leads coming from the display's x-y matrix of pixels.
In one embodiment, the driver controller 29, array driver 22, and display array 30 are appropriate for any of the types of displays described herein. For example, in one embodiment, driver controller 29 is a conventional display controller or a bi-stable display controller (e.g., an interferometric modulator controller). In another embodiment, array driver 22 is a conventional driver or a bi-stable display driver (e.g., an interferometric modulator display). In one embodiment, a driver controller 29 is integrated with the array driver 22. Such an embodiment is common in highly integrated systems such as cellular phones, watches, and other small area displays. In yet another embodiment, display array 30 is a typical display array or a bi-stable display array (e.g., a display including an array of interferometric modulators).
The input device 48 allows a user to control the operation of the exemplary display device 40. In one embodiment, input device 48 includes a keypad, such as a QWERTY keyboard or a telephone keypad, a button, a switch, a touch-sensitive screen, a pressure- or heat-sensitive membrane. In one embodiment, the microphone 46 is an input device for the exemplary display device 40. When the microphone 46 is used to input data to the device, voice commands may be provided by a user for controlling operations of the exemplary display device 40.
Power supply 50 can include a variety of energy storage devices as are well known in the art. For example, in one embodiment, power supply 50 is a rechargeable battery, such as a nickel-cadmium battery or a lithium ion battery. In another embodiment, power supply 50 is a renewable energy source, a capacitor, or a solar cell, including a plastic solar cell, and solar-cell paint. In another embodiment, power supply 50 is configured to receive power from a wall outlet.
In some implementations control programmability resides, as described above, in a driver controller which can be located in several places in the electronic display system. In some cases control programmability resides in the array driver 22. Those of skill in the art will recognize that the above-described optimization may be implemented in any number of hardware and/or software components and in various configurations.
The details of the structure of interferometric modulators that operate in accordance with the principles set forth above may vary widely. For example,
In embodiments such as those shown in
Referring to
As shown in
In some embodiments, the portion of deformable layers configured to be individually addressable is about 100%, however 1% through 99% of the deformable layers are individually addressable in other embodiments, for example one embodiment may have about 10%, about 20%, about 30%, about 40%, about 50%, about 60%, about 70%, about 80%, or about 90% of its deformable layers individually addressable.
A separate electronic device 860 provides a 3×3 array of connection pads 862 that is configured to mate with the a 3×3 array of connection bumps 841 on the interferometric modulator array 800. As indicated in
In the embodiment shown in
When the reflective layer 814b, and the deformable layer 34b move between the actuated and relaxed states, orifices within the deformable layer 34b (not shown in the cross-section of
In some embodiments the encapsulation layer 802 is spaced apart from the relaxed state position of the deformable layer 34b by the introduction of an intermediate layer. The introduction of such an intermediate layer may also improve reliability of the device. During operation, the deformable layer 34b may forcefully move from an actuated position close to the optical stack 816b to the relaxed position away from the optical stack 816b. Maintaining the cavity 808b above the deformable layer 34b allows for the deformable layer 34b to “overshoot” the final relaxed state because of the mechanical restorative force. Without the cavity, the deformable layer would collide with the encapsulating layer, potentially damaging the structure and shortening the life of the encapsulating layer and/or the mechanical interferometric modulator structure.
As shown in
The interferometric modulators may also be connected to intermediate connectors configured to make connections to other circuits. Such connectors include bond-pads and bumps, such as those used in a ball grid array (BGA). In some embodiments the circuitry and/or connectors are outside the perimeter of the interferometric modulator array. The interferometric modulators may be connected to the connectors through the interconnect layers only, or through the circuitry, as in
In some embodiments circuitry and/or connectors are within the perimeter of the interferometric modulator array. An advantageous aspect of this arrangement is that it allows for short routing connections. Such an embodiment is shown in
The interferometric modulator 1000 may be formed according to the following process. Posts 18 are formed on the substrate 20, and optical stack 16 formed on the substrate 20 between the posts 18. A first sacrificial layer is deposited on the optical stack 16. A reflective layer 14 is then formed on the first sacrificial layer. Next, a second sacrificial layer is deposited on the reflective layer 14. The second sacrificial layer is etched so as to expose the reflective layer 14 in a region between the posts 18, and a mechanical layer 34 is then formed on the posts 18, the etched second sacrificial layer, and the portion of the reflective layer 14 exposed by etching the second sacrificial layer.
In some embodiments, a third sacrificial layer is deposited above the mechanical layer. The third sacrificial layer may then be etched according to a desired contour for the encapsulation layer 1002, which is deposited on the third sacrificial layer. As seen from
In some embodiments the after the encapsulation layer is deposited, one or more orifices 1004 may be generated in the encapsulation layer by, for example, etching. After the orifices 1004 have been generated, the sacrificial layers may be removed. In some embodiments the orifices provide a path or the only path through which etching agents access the sacrificial layers and/or provide a path or the only path through which the etching agents and sacrificial layer materials are evacuated from the region between the encapsulation layer and the substrate.
Once the sacrificial layers are removed, the orifices 1004 in the encapsulation layer 1002 may be closed to hermetically seal the interferometric cavity from the ambient environment. In some embodiments prior to closing the orifices 1004, the atmosphere within the interferometric cavity may be altered. For example, a vacuum may be induced, or an inert atmosphere may be generated between the encapsulation layer and the substrate. After the desired atmosphere is generated, the orifices may be closed while maintaining the desired atmosphere. The orifices may be closed with various materials including, but not limited to substantially non-conductive materials, and substantially conductive materials.
In some embodiments at least some of the orifices may be closed using a conductive material. The conductive material may contact the mechanical layer and form a via 1006, as seen in
The via 1006 may be used to electrically connect the mechanical layer 34 to other interconnect layers and to circuitry. Using semiconductor fabrication techniques such as deposition of materials and sacrificial layers, and etching the materials and sacrificial layers, the other interconnect layers and the circuitry may be fabricated adjacent to the interferometric modulator. For example, as shown in

While the above detailed description has shown, described, and pointed out novel features as applied to various embodiments, it will be understood that various omissions, substitutions, and changes in the form and details of the device or process illustrated may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention. As will be recognized, the present invention may be embodied within a form that does not provide all of the features and benefits set forth herein, as some features may be used or practiced separately from others.
