1. A light modulator, comprising:

  • an array comprised of rows and columns of interferometric display elements, each element being divided into sub-rows of sub-elements;

    array connection lines to transmit operating signals to the display elements, wherein one connection line corresponds to one row of display elements in the array;

    sub-array connection lines electrically connected to each array connection line; and

    switches to transmit the operating signals from each array connection line to the sub-rows to effect gray scale modulation.
