Abstract
Methods for forming a MEMS display device are provided. In one embodiment, a transparent substrate comprising an array of MEMS devices (e.g., interferometric modulators) formed thereon is annealed following removal of a sacrificial silicon layer. The array is subsequently encapsulated with a backplate comprising a desiccant. MEMS devices disposed below the desiccant have an offset voltage substantially equal to zero.
