OPTICAL INTERFERENCE DISPLAY PANEL
First Claim
1. A display, comprising:
- at least one interferometric modulator array on a first substrate; and
an opaque protection structure attached to the first substrate to cover the at least one interferometric modulator array,wherein the opaque protection structure covers the at least one interferometric modulator array and prevents light from passing through a defect in the at least one interferometric modulator array.

Abstract
An optical interference display panel is disclosed that has a substrate, an optical interference reflection structure, and an opaque protection structure. The optical interference reflection structure has many color-changeable pixels and is formed on the substrate. The opaque protection structure is adhered and fixed onto the substrate with an adhesive and encloses the optical interference reflection structure between the substrate and the opaque protection structure. The opaque protection structure blocks and/or absorbs light, and light is thus not emitted outward by passing through defects in the optical interference reflection structure Moreover, the opaque protection structure and the adhesive also prevent the optical interference reflection structure from being damaged by an external environment.

14. A display, comprising:
-
means for supporting a microelectromechanical system, wherein the microelectromechanical system comprises means for modulating light transmitted through said supporting means; and means for covering the modulating means to prevent light from passing through a defect in the modulating means, the covering means being attached to the supporting means and covering the modulating means. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A display as manufactured by a method, the method comprising:
-
providing a first substrate; forming an optical interference reflection structure comprising a plurality of pixels on the first substrate; and adhering an opaque protection structure to the first substrate with an adhesive to position the optical interference reflection structure between the opaque protection structure and the first substrate, wherein the opaque protection structure prevents light from passing through a defect in the optical interference reflection structure.
