ABSTRACT:
Methods are disclosed by which the effects of a defective electromechanical pixel (20) having a beam (30) and a hinge (34,36) are mitigated. These methods may damage the hinge (34,36) or the beam (30) and comprise the step of applying a voltage sufficient to damage the hinge (34,36) or beam (30) of said electromechanical pixel (20) by mechanical overstress, thermal overstress, electrochemical reaction, or thermally induced chemical reaction. Other methods are also disclosed.
