1. A device comprising:

  • a microdisplay integrated circuit (IC);

    a substantially transparent protective cover coupled to the microdisplay IC; and

    a chip carrier defining an opening,wherein the microdisplay IC comprises;

    a semiconductor substrate;

    a pixel cell array fabricated within upper layers of semiconductor substrate, the pixel cell array including a plurality of pixel cells arranged in a two-dimensional grid;

    a plurality of pixel electrodes, each associated with a respective one of the plurality of pixel cells;

    a light switching layer in contact with the plurality of pixel electrodes; and

    an electrode disposed between the light switching layer and the substantially transparent protective cover; and

    wherein the cover extends over the plurality of pixel cells and partially into, fully into, partially through or fully through the opening defined by the chip carrier; and

    wherein the chip carrier comprises conductors to carry electrical signals.
