ABSTRACT:
A micromirror device with a lower driving voltage is disclosed. The lower driving voltage is achieved by projecting a partial light for image display during a micromirror is oscillating from fully on state to a fully off state. The micromirror device includes a reflective element supported on a hinge for oscillating and positioning at least three states. These three states are a fully on state, a fully off state, and a partially ON angular positions in responding to a digital control signal. The oscillation of the micromirrors is controlled in responding to a digital control signal wherein the digital control signal is controlled for writing into display pixels in an interleave-and-jump sequence to jump multiple lines to non-sequential lines of a display image.
