Abstract
A modulator has a transparent substrate with a first surface. At least one interferometric modulator element resides on the first surface. At least one thin film circuit component electrically connected to the element resides on the surface. When more than one interferometric element resides on the first surface, there is at least one thin film circuit component corresponding to each element residing on the first surface.
