Abstract

Disclosed herein is a micromirror array device package having a light absorbing material disposed within the package for reducing undesired light scattering. The light absorbing material can be deposited as a thin film (or strip, frame, segments or a combination thereof), or as a vertical wall insert between the micromirror array device and a cover substrate of the package.
