A micro-electromechanical apparatus may include a substrate, a first frame, a plurality of first anchors, a region and a plurality of pivot elements. The plurality of first anchors and the region is disposed on the substrate. The region is surrounded by the plurality of first anchors. Each of the pivot elements includes a pivot end and a rotary end. Each of the pivot ends is connected to a corresponding first anchor and each of the rotary ends is connected to the first frame such that the first frame is able to rotate with respect to an axis passing the region. The micro-electromechanical apparatus having the pivot elements and the region is adapted for detecting multi-degree physical quantities such as angular velocities in at least two axes, angular velocities and accelerations, angular velocities and Earth's magnetic field.

A reading circuit of a gyroscope is provided. The reading circuit includes a driving unit, a high pass filter, a signal processing unit, and a low pass filter. The driving unit generates a resonance signal for a resonator of the gyroscope and generates a demodulation signal for the signal processing unit. The signal processing unit provides a modulation signal to a Coriolis accelerometer of the gyroscope. An input terminal of the high pass filter receives an output signal of the Coriolis accelerometer. The signal processing unit processes and demodulates an output of the high pass filter according to the demodulation signal and outputs a demodulation result to the low pass filter.

A single polar driving method for a cholesteric liquid crystal display. The method comprises the steps of selecting the pixels by applying a first signal switching between a ground and a first level to the common line of the selected pixels, driving the selected pixels into a reflecting state by applying a second signal out of phase with the first signal and that switches between a second and third levels to the segment lines thereof, driving the selected pixels into a transparent state by applying a third signal in phase with the first signal and that switches between the second and third levels to the segment lines thereof, and deselecting the pixels by applying a fourth signal fixed at a fourth level to the common lines thereof.
