Abstract

See full text

Devices and methods for determining an operational state of a selected display device in an array of display devices. One method includes determining the operational state of a particular display device in the array by measuring an electrical characteristic of a plurality of the display devices, and determining the operational state based at least in part on the three measurements. In some embodiments, the electrical characteristic is capacitance, in other embodiments impedance can be the measured electrical characteristic. Such methods can be applied to interferometric modulator displays and other displays, including liquid crystal display displays.
