Pixtronix and CMI Announced the Latest MEMS Displays

Published:2011/11/9 19:06:00 Author:Phyllis From:SeekIC

Pixtronix Inc and Chimei Innolux Corp have announced the successful joint development of 5-inch diagonal MEMS display prototypes. The displays, which utilize the Pixtronix proprietary MEMS technology of and built by CMI, offer more than 135 percent of the NTSC color gamut, as well as greater than 170 degree viewing angles, more than 3000:1 contrast ratio and 24-bit color depth, all at one quarter of the power consumption of equivalent size and resolution liquid crystal displays.

The two companies previously announced jointly developed 2.5 inch diagonal prototypes at FPD International 2010. Since then, Pixtronix and CMI have worked together to build a MEMS display twice that size and four times the resolution.

MEMS display technology is regarded as a new technology bringing additional consumer benefits to the multimedia markets and in the collaboration between CMI and Pixtronix a large step is set to industrialize this technology.

Pixtronix calls its technology PerfectLight Display. It has high switching speed making it suitable for applications ranging from full-speed video to e-reader operation in a single device. The PerfectLight display is based upon Pixtronix’s digital micro shutter MEMS technology, which is built within standard LCD infrastructure and eliminates the need for liquid crystals, polarizers and color filters to enable a highly efficient, programmable display with proven MEMS reliability.
