Abstract

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.
