Within a method for fabricating an optoelectronic microelectronic fabrication, and the optoelectronic microelectronic fabrication fabricated in accord with the method, there is formed at least in part within an annular gap interposed between: (1) a patterned optical barrier layer which defines an aperture; and (2) a electrical contact formed within the aperture and laterally separated from the patterned optical barrier layer by the annular gap, an annular optical baffle layer. Within the present invention, when there is further formed over the patterned optical barrier layer and electrically connected with the electrical contact a pixel electrode plate layer, the annular optical baffle layer provides for attenuated light leakage to a switching element formed beneath the patterned optical barrier layer.
