QUALCOMM has developed and transferred to manufacturing iMoD™ displays, a MEMS-based reflective display technology. The iMoD array architecture allows for development at wafer scale, yet easily scales up to enable fabrication on flat-panel display (FPD) lines. In this paper, we will describe the device operation, process flow and fabrication, technology transfer issues, and display performance.

Abstract

QUALCOMM has developed and transferred to manufacturing iMoD Displays, a MEMS‐based reflective display technology. The iMoD array architecture allows for development at wafer scale, yet easily scales‐up to enable fabrication on flat‐panel display (FPD) lines. In this paper, we will describe the device operation, process flow and fabrication, technology transfer issues, and display performance.

We have developed a novel transflective TFT Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) that has a ultra low power consumption and high performance. In addition, we make it with wide viewing range and high contrast ratio by applying optical self‐compensated to LC cell. It also has high light efficiency for both reflective and transitive modes.
