Abstract
Systems and methods of controlling client display modes are disclosed. In one embodiment, an electronic device includes an array of interferometric modulators, and an array driver for the array of interferometric modulators. The array driver is configured to receive video data which at least a portion of is in an interlaced format, to identify a portion of the video data as interlaced format, and to render the identified video data in an interlaced format on the array of interferometric modulators. In another embodiment, a method of displaying information on a bi-stable display includes receiving video data at a device having an interlaced mode of displaying data and a non-interlaced mode of displaying data, identifying at least a portion of the video data as interlaced format, and displaying the interlaced video data on the bi-stable display. In some embodiments the bi-stable display can be an array of interferometric modulators.
