Problems solved by technology

When electrostatic driving is used, the current required driving voltage is relatively high, generally as high as 50V ~ 100V, and the electrostatic driving method has a typical feature of "sticking phenomenon", which can easily lead to pixel pull-in failure; at the same time, this is a A binary driving method, that is, either on or off, and cannot continuously control light
When electrothermal drive is used, larger shading elements can be set to form a larger shading area; however, the electrothermal drive itself occupies a large volume, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of MEMS transmissive optical switches, and the driving voltage and power consumption are relatively high. high
In addition, it is difficult to accurately control the position of the shading element, and the light transmittance of the MEMS transmissive optical switch is low
