Abstract
A deformable mirror device comprises a plurality of groups of colored mirrors responsive to electronic signals. Each group of mirrors is coated with a mixture of resist and dye thereby reflecting specified wavelengths of visible light. A process for manufacturing such a color deformable mirror device ('DMD') includes forming a layer of material on the DMD comprising a resist and a dye and selectively removing portions of the layer of material from the DMD.
