INTERFEROMETRIC PIXEL WITH PATTERNED MECHANICAL LAYER

摘要

Electromechanical modulators and methods of making the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, a display includes a sub-pixel having a membrane layer with a void formed therein. The void can be configured to increase the flexibility of the membrane layer. The sub-pixel can further include an optical mask configured to hide the void from a viewer. In another embodiment, a display can include at least two movable reflectors wherein each movable reflector has a different stiffness but each movable reflector has substantially the same effective coefficient of thermal expansion.
