US Patent 7561115 Reconfigurable network component layers

A method for configuring an electronics device having reconfigurable network component layers is disclosed. The method selects a first group of pixels from at least one of the reconfigurable network component layers to form a network component on a substrate of the electronics device and activates the network component in at least one plane of the device substrate using a plurality of micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) switches adjacent to the first group of selected pixels. The method adjusts a first shape of the activated network component for the electronics device using the reconfigurable network component layers.
