Patent ID: 8749592

Claim:
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 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 and a resistance component coupled to the output electrode, the storage capacitor connected in parallel with the resistance component, and wherein the output electrode, the storage capacitor, the resistance component, and a first electrode of the micro-electro-mechanical system are all directly connected to each other.
