2. Description of the Related Art
A micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) display is a display expected to replace a liquid crystal display (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 2008-197668). This display differs from a liquid crystal shutter type display utilizing polarization, and displays an image by opening and closing a light transmissive window using a mechanical shutter system. A shutter is formed of a thin film. Vertical and horizontal sizes of one shutter forming one pixel are in the order of several hundred micrometers, and a thickness thereof is in the order of several micrometers. One shutter is opened/closed to enable ON/OFF operation for one pixel. The shutter is operated by an electrostatic attractive force.
The shutter is arranged in a space surrounded by a sealing member between a pair of light transmissive substrates, and the space is filled with oil. The oil is used to prevent a spring for driving the shutter from sticking, and to reduce a difference in optical refraction index with respect to the light transmissive substrates.
The oil is injected from an injection port corresponding to an opening of the sealing member, and the injection port is encapsulated by a resin after the oil injection. For high-speed open/close operation of the shutter, oil having low viscosity is desired, but in this case, the speed of oil when passing through the injection port increases to cause a problem of damaging the shutter.
