Abstract

See full text

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for shutter-based EMS light modulators controlled by electrode actuators that include a compliant inner beam electrode positioned between a movable beam electrode and a fixed beam electrode. A first voltage is applied to the movable beam electrode, and a sufficiently different voltage is applied to one of the compliant beam electrode and the fixed outer beam electrode. During actuation, the movable beam electrode is drawn towards the compliant inner beam electrode, while the combination of the movable beam electrode and the compliant inner beam electrode are further drawn to the fixed beam electrode.
