1. A method of manufacturing a display device comprising:

  • depositing a layer of a dielectric material directly on a substantially transparent substrate;

    depositing a layer of metal directly on top of the dielectric material;

    forming a plurality of apertures in the layer of metal;

    forming a control matrix on top of the metal layer; and

    forming a plurality of light-modulating shutter assemblies on top of and in electrical communication with the control matrix such that the control matrix controls the light modulation functionality of the plurality of shutter assemblies, wherein the plurality of apertures allows light to pass through the layer of metal for modulation by the plurality of light-modulating shutter assemblies.
