1. A method of displaying an image on a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) display, comprising:
- receiving water vapor in a MEMS display;
receiving user input to activate the display; and
displaying a predefined image on the display in response to activation, wherein the presence of water vapor allows the image being displayed without continued activation.

Abstract
Systems and methods of displaying an end-of-life image on an electronic display are disclosed. An end-of-life image is displayed on a MEMS display device in the presence of sufficient water vapor and without continued activation of the display. The image can he displayed in response to user input, in response to detection of a predefined level of water vapor within the display package, according to a prestored lifetime of the device, or according to the natural expiration of the lifetime of the display device and packaging.

10. A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) display device, comprising:
-
a MEMS display encapsulated within a package; and a water vapor sensor within the package and coupled to the MEMS display, wherein the water vapor sensor is configured to sense water vapor in the package above a predefined level, wherein the MEMS display is configured to be activated by a user and configured to display a predefined image, and wherein the presence of water vapor in the package above the predefined level results in display of the predefined image without continued activation of the MEMS display. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
