Interferometric display with interferometric reflector

Abstract

Interferometric modulators and methods of making the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, an interferometric modulator includes an interferometric reflector having a first reflective surface, a second reflective surface, and an optical resonant layer defined by the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface. The interferometric reflector can be configured to transmit a certain spectrum of light at a transmission peak wavelength such that the interferometric modulator has a diminished reflectance of light at the transmission peak wavelength.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An interferometric modulator comprising an interferometric reflector. 
     
     
         2 . The interferometric modulator of  claim 1 , wherein the interferometric reflector is movable. 
     
     
         3 . The interferometric modulator of  claim 1 , wherein the interferometric reflector comprises:
 a first reflective surface;   a second reflective surface; and   an optical resonant layer defined by the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface.
