Paper Abstract
A novel technology is presented for arrays of vertical flaps as optically modulating elements which are actuated
electrostatically to horizontal position at low voltages of 30-50V. One application is a reflective display exhibiting
a contrast ratio of 1:95. We will also show a) shutters for transmissive devices in an array configuration and
b) switchable gratings. A large variety of flap geometries are fabricated such as flat reflective, grating, lens or
grid shape. Poly-Si refill of thin high aspect-ratio trenches followed of dry etching of the surrounding material is
used to fabricate the flaps suspended by torsion beams.
