Patent ID: 8760751

Claim:
A device, comprising: an analog interferometric modulator (AIMOD) including a substrate having a first side that is exposed to receive incident light and a second side opposite the first side; a stationary first electrode disposed on the second side of the substrate; an optical stack disposed on the second side of the substrate, the optical stack including a broadband absorbing layer; a second electrode above the first electrode and the optical stack such that there is a cavity between the second electrode and the first electrode; a broadband reflective movable layer coupled to the second electrode, the movable layer configured to move to at least three different positions relative to the optical stack in response to a voltage applied across the first electrode and the second electrode; and a notch filter located on the same side of the movable layer as the optical stack and the substrate, the notch filter being spaced apart from the movable layer and configured to at least partially absorb light having a wavelength between about 400 nm and about 600 nm.
