ABSTRACT:
A control substrate of spatial light modulator for a bi-directional micro mirror array includes a plurality of unit cells, each includes a common electrode at a fixed constant potential and an addressing electrode under the mirror plate on opposite sides of a pivot point of the mirror hinge, a pair of micro landing tips, a single CMOS transistor electrically connected to a storage capacitor, and a word-line/bit-line interconnection structure for communicating signals.
