A solid state light modulator structure useful in a video display system includes a deformable silicon containing gel layer on an array of charge storage elements, and an adherent, highly light reflective metal (e.g., Ag) electrode layer formed directly on the surface of the gel layer by sputtering in a non-reactive atmosphere.

A permanent magnet of a hard magnetic material, such as rare earth-cobalt intermetallic compounds or AlNiCo, is joined to a mounting surface by way of intermediate layers. These layers avoid heating the magnet above the maximum service temperature of the magnetic material, and thus prevent losing the magnetic properties.

Mounting hard magnetic material permanent magnets

A reliable garnet to metal hermetic seal is obtained by metallizing the garnet with successive sputtered layers of tantalum or titanium, molybdenum or tungsten and nickel, followed by soldering or brazing the metallized garnet to a metal member.
