Claim Text:
1. An electromechanical device comprising: a substrate; a light blocking element formed on the substrate and having a first actuator and a second actuator operatively opposing the first actuator for moving the light blocking element between at least a first position and a second position; and a flip-flop circuit disposed on the substrate, wherein the flip-flop circuit includes a first inverter having an output coupled to the first actuator, and a second inverter having an output coupled to the second actuator, the flip-flop circuit being configured to maintain opposite logical states on the first and second actuators, the logical states corresponding to the position of the light blocking element, such that when the first actuator is in a first logical state, the flip-flop circuit maintains the second actuator in a second, opposite logical state, and when the first actuator is in the second logical state, the flip-flop circuit maintains the second actuator in the first logical state.
