Abstract
Embodiments relate to microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and more particularly to membrane structures comprising pixels for use in, e.g., display devices. In embodiments, a membrane structure comprises a monocrystalline silicon membrane above a cavity formed over a silicon substrate. The membrane structure can comprise a light interference structure that, depending upon a variable distance between the membrane and the substrate, transmits or reflects different wavelengths of light. Related devices, systems and methods are also disclosed.
