Abstract: A method for forming spacers in micro-displays to eliminate dark or white spots is disclosed. The method includes the steps of (1) providing a substrate for each of red, green and blue micro-displays with metallic reflective pads formed on the substrate, the pads being spaced from each other by non-reflective areas; (2) forming a coating of a transparent, non-conductive material on the substrate and over the reflective pads; (3) providing a mask associated with each substrate, each mask having a number of shielded zones that are not corresponding in location to each other; and (4) performing a lithographic operation on the transparent, non-conductive coating of each substrate of step (2) by using the associated mask of step (3) whereby portions of the transparent, non-conductive material that are corresponding to the shielded zones of the mask are left on the substrate, functioning as the spacers.
