Each pixel of the matrix consists of two elements: a translucent film on a glass substrate and below it a reflecting membrane, which can exist in two states: open and closed. Depending on the voltage, the pixel becomes open or closed state, between the film and the membrane forms a small gap and the light reflected from the membrane, passes back through the film - the pixel begins to burn with red, blue or green. Black color of the pixel is formed in the closed state of the element. These displays are low power consumption and cope with the map as static content and dynamic.
