Claim Text:
1. A display apparatus, comprising: a plurality of gate lines to receive a gate signal; a plurality of data lines to receive a plurality of data signals, respectively; and a plurality of pixels, wherein each pixel of the plurality of pixels comprises: a switching device coupled to a corresponding gate line of the plurality of gate lines and to a corresponding data line of the plurality of data lines, the switching device configured to output a corresponding data signal in response to the gate signal; a micro-electro-mechanical system coupled to an output electrode of the switching device to control output of a light signal in response to the corresponding data signal; and a control device coupled to the output electrode of the switching device to control a time period for which the micro-electro-mechanical system transmits the light signal such that the micro-electro-mechanical system transmits the light signal for a first time period in response to a first data signal, and transmits the light signal for a second time period different from the first time period in response to a second data signal different from the first data signal, wherein the control device comprises a storage capacitor coupled to the output electrode of the switching device and a coupling capacitor coupled to the output electrode of the switching device, the storage capacitor connected in parallel with the coupling capacitor, and wherein the output electrode of the switching device, the storage capacitor, the coupling capacitor, and a first electrode of the micro-electro-mechanical system are all directly connected to each other.
