    摘要: MEMS devices such as interferometric modulators are described having movable layers that are mechanically isolated. The movable layers are electrically attractable such that they can be selectively moved between a top and bottom electrode through application of a voltage. In interferometric modulators, the movable layers are reflective such that an optically resonant cavity is formed between the layer and a partially reflective layer, thereby providing a display pixel that can be turned on or off depending on the distance between the reflective layers in the resonant cavity.

    摘要: An optical device for modulating the intensity of light from an interferometric reflector. In one embodiment, the optical device can include an optical stack having a reflective layer and a partially reflective, partially transmissive layer for reflecting light. The optical device can also include a fluid cell comprising an absorptive fluid and a transmissive fluid. The optical device can also include a mechanism for controlling the portion of the reflector which is shadowed by the absorptive fluid.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for controlling a depth of a cavity between two layers of a light modulating device. A method of making a light modulating device includes providing a substrate, forming a sacrificial layer over at least a portion of the substrate, forming a reflective layer over at least a portion of the sacrificial layer, and forming one or more flexure controllers over the substrate, the flexure controllers configured so as to operably support the reflective layer and to form cavities, upon removal of the sacrificial layer, of a depth measurably different than the thickness of the sacrificial layer, wherein the depth is measured perpendicular to the substrate.
