Â 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. Â 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. Â Black color of the pixel is formed in the closed state of the element. Â These displays are low power consumption and cope with the map as static content and dynamic.
