    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for modulating light to form an image on a display, as well as methods manufacturing such apparatus. The display apparatus includes dual-level shutter assemblies. Each dual-level shutter assembly includes front and rear light obstructing levels positioned adjacent to respective front and rear light blocking layers. The front and rear light blocking layers define apertures providing optical paths from a backlight to the front of the display. The dual-level shutters selectively obstruct these optical paths to generate an image.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for forming display structures having shutters that have a different height than corresponding actuators. In one aspect, a display apparatus includes an electrostatic actuator including opposing beam electrodes having primary faces normal to a substrate on which they are formed. The height of at least one of the opposing beam electrodes defines an actuator height. The apparatus also includes a shutter configured to be driven by the electrostatic actuator. The shutter includes at least one protrusion, the protrusion having a first sidewall and a second sidewall normal to a primary plane of the shutter, wherein a first sidewall height of the first sidewall is substantially different from the actuator height.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for providing relatively thinner and less stiff compliant beams for a shutter assembly. A protective coating is deposited and patterned over the shutter assembly before it is released from a sacrificial mold over which the shutter assembly is formed. Because some primary surfaces of the compliant beams are in contact with the sacrificial mold, these primary surfaces are not coated with the protective coating. Therefore, when the shutter assembly is finally released, the resulting compliant beams are relatively thinner and less stiff providing a reduction in an actuation voltage used to operate the shutter assembly. In some instances, the protective coating is patterned into discontinuous segments before release.
