Abstract

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for facilitating repair of inoperable MEMS display elements. A display apparatus can include a plurality of display elements over a substrate. Each display element can have a pixel output interconnect. The display apparatus also can include a plurality of conductive bridges each associated with the pixel output interconnects of a respective pair of adjacent display elements. A first conductive bridge can include an electrical connection between the pixel output interconnects of a first pair of adjacent display elements. A second conductive bridge associated with a second pair of adjacent display elements can be electrically isolated from the pixel output interconnects of at least one display element of the second pair of display elements. A laser or other means can be used to form an electrical connection between the first conductive bridge and the respective pair of adjacent display elements.
