Abstract

See full text

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for using acoustic artifact data produced through normal operation of interferometric modulator (IMOD) displays to convey data in addition to the graphical content displayed using an IMOD display panel. In one aspect, such acoustic artifact data may be used to fingerprint or authenticate graphical content displayed by an IMOD display panel. In another aspect, the actuation of IMODs in an IMOD display panel may be modulated to produce a desired acoustic artifact data stream that may communicate information independently of, and simultaneously with, the display of graphical content.
