ABSTRACT:
A micromirror capable of analog pulse width modulation, and method thereof. A capacitor (406) in each micromirror element stores a charge representative of one pixel of image data. A comparator (414) compares the image data signal stored on the capacitor (406) to a reference signal from a reference signal generator (416). Depending on the results of the comparison, the address electrodes (418) of the micromirror are biased to deflect the micromirror (412). As either the image data charge stored on the capacitor (406), or the reference voltage changes, the output of the comparator (414) changes to alter the position of the micromirror (412).
