摘要： Systems and methods for controlling a navigational object (e.g., a cursor) using an input device are disclosed herein. A system in accordance with one embodiment includes a motion-based input device adapted to move relative to a surface. The input device has one or more force sensors capable of detecting forces acting upon the input device. The system may then move a navigational object displayed on a receiving device in relatively small increments or relatively large increments, depending upon the detected forces acting upon the input device.

摘要： Devices having one or more sensors located outside a viewing area of a touch screen display are disclosed. The one or more sensors can be located behind an opaque mask area of the device; the opaque mask area extending between the sides of a housing of the device and viewing area of the touch screen display. In addition, the sensors located behind the mask can be separate from a touch sensor panel used to detect objects on or near the touch screen display, and can be used to enhance or provide additional functionality to the device. For example, a device having a sensor located outside the viewing area can be used to detect objects in proximity to a functional component incorporated in the device, such as an ear piece (i.e., speaker for outputting sound). The sensor can also output a signal indicating a level of detection which may be interpreted by a controller of the device as a level of proximity of an object to the functional component. In addition, the controller can initiate a variety of actions related to the functional component based on the output signal, such as adjusting the volume of the earpiece.

摘要： A light modulator and a method of manufacturing the same are provided having a continuously deformable optical surface. Generally, the modulator includes a substrate, a membrane disposed above and spaced apart from an upper surface of the substrate, the membrane having a continuously deformable light reflective surface formed on its upper side facing away from the upper surface of the substrate, and a means for deflecting the deformable surface relative to the substrate. Light reflected from different points of the deformable surface can interfere to modulate light reflected from the modulator in 0th order applications. In one embodiment, the membrane includes a static reflective surface surrounding the deformable surface. Light reflected from the static surface and the deformable surface can interfere to modulate light reflected from the modulator in non-0th order applications. Preferably, the static surface is substantially planar and the deformable surface are sized and shaped to define substantially equal areas. In one embodiment, the static surface circumscribes the deformable surface to define a parabolic reflector.

The layers include at least a top surface for receiving incident light, a first layer overlying the substrate, and a second layer between the top surface and the first layer, the second layer overlying and abutting the first layer. The second layer has a predetermined thickness selected in relation to an index of refraction of the second layer and to a wavelength of the incident light such that the light reflecting off an interface between the first and second layers constructively interferes with light reflected from the top surface. Preferably, the first layer also has a predetermined thickness selected such that the light reflecting off an interface between the first layer and the substrate constructively interferes with light reflected from the top surface.

摘要： The current invention is directed to optical MEM devices and methods for making the same. MEM devices, in accordance with the current invention, have one or more movable micro-structures which are preferably ribbon structures or cantilever structures configured for modulating light. The movable micro-structures are patterned from a device layer comprising a silicon nitride under-layer, a reflective metal top-layer and a ceramic compensating layer. The ceramic compensating layer is provided. to reduce stress in the micro-structures which can lead to curvature. In accordance with the embodiments of the invention, the device layer is formed on a silicon substrate that is preferably etched with trenches before forming the device layer. The device layer is then patterned using lithographic masking and etching techniques to release the patterned device layer and form the movable micro-structures. Portions of the device layer which are formed over the trenches provide support for the released patterned device layer.

摘要： A display apparatus projects a two dimensional image onto a display screen and includes illumination optics, a light modulator, separating optics and scanning optics. The light modulator is optically coupled to the illumination optics such that in operation the illumination optics illuminate the light modulator with an off-axis illumination and further such that the light modulator directs light onto an optic axis for a bright pixel, thereby forming on-axis light, and away from the optic axis for a dark pixel, thereby forming off-axis light. The separating optics are coupled to the light modulator and separate the off-axis and on-axis light where the on-axis light produces a real and virtual image that is displayed by the projection and scanning optics.

摘要： A structure of a hybrid MEMS structure is provided wherein a plate comprises a thin actuatable layer of conductive silicon, such as a MEMS actuatable element, and a thicker handle layer of conductive silicon to provide structural integrity which are separated by a thin oxide, together forming an SOI wafer. This plate is mounted to a substrate, typically ceramic, with the thin actuatable layer facing the substrate and separated by an air gap that is formed by creating, on the substrate, insulator standoffs which come in contact with the plate. A suitable dielectric material useful as a standoff on the substrate is a footrest that permits high aspect ratios.

摘要： In an array apparatus, each MEMS element, comprising an actuatable element and a supportive handle, is mounted over a plurality of electrodes wherein the air gap is controlled by the thickness of the electrodes and not primarily by the structure of the handle. The structure of electrostatic actuation electrodes in specific embodiments is disclosed. While the invention is primarily a technique for reducing the air gap without unduly limiting the thickness of the handle, the invention may also be used to establish an air gap greater than the thickness of the handle.
