摘要： Optical filter functionality is incorporated into a substrate of a display element thereby decreasing the need for a separate thin film filter and, accordingly, reducing a total thickness of a filtered display element. Filter functionality may be provided by any filter material, such as pigment materials, photoluminescent materials, and opaque material, for example. The filter material may be incorporated in the substrate at the time of creating the substrate or may be selectively diffused in the substrate through a process of masking the substrate, exposing the substrate to the filter material, and heating the substrate in order to diffuse the filter material in the substrate.

摘要： This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for tuning the white point of a display device. In one aspect, a display device includes a set of display elements configured to output light and electronics configured to drive the display elements. Each display element can have an on-state where a reflective surface can be positioned at a distance from a partially reflective surface such that the display element can reflect incident light. Each distance can be dependent on a bias voltage. At least one of the bias voltages for the display elements can be non-zero in the on-state, and one or more of the bias voltages may be adjustable to control a white point of the display device. The electronics can be electrically connected to the display elements to provide the at least one non-zero bias voltage.
