<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a display device comprising an array of addressable light-modulating elements. <P>SOLUTION: A spatial light modulator 40 comprises an integrated passive optical compensation structure 41, or a passive optical compensation structure 41 located on the opposite side of the light-modulating elements 44 from a transparent substrate 42. The individually addressable light-modulating elements 44 are configured to modulate light transmitted through or reflected from the transparent substrate 42. Methods for making the spatial light modulators 40 involve fabricating a passive optical compensation structure 41 over a substrate, and fabricating a plurality of individually addressable light-modulating elements 44 over the passive optical compensation structure 41. The passive optical compensation structure 41 may include one or more of a supplemental frontlighting source, a diffuser, a black mask, a diffractive optical element, a color filter, an anti-reflective layer, a structure that scatters light, a microlens array, and a holographic film. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
