Abstract

An array of MEMS devices having column lines and row lines, such as a light modulator array, is controlled in response to an input signal by providing a number of discrete voltages, multiplexing from the discrete voltages a selected voltage to be applied to each MEMS device of the array, and enabling application of the selected discrete voltage to each MEMS device of the array.
