Irregular devices

A method of fabricating an irregular device, comprising:

• providing a backplane comprising a plurality of circuits;
• and
• forming the irregular device by forming a plurality of elements on the backplane, wherein each of the plurality of elements comprises a metallic electrode, metallic electrodes of the plurality of elements being isolated from one another and forming an irregular pattern,
• wherein each of the metallic electrodes is coupled to a respective circuit of the plurality of circuits in the backplane.

A system, comprising:

• a device comprising:
• a backplane comprising a plurality of circuits;
• and
• a plurality of elements arranged on the backplane, wherein each of the plurality of elements comprises a metallic electrode, metallic electrodes of the plurality of elements being isolated from one another and forming an irregular pattern, wherein each of the metallic electrodes is coupled to a respective circuit of the plurality of circuits in the backplane;
• and
• a controller coupled to the device and configured to transmit at least one control signal to at least one element of the device for modulating at least one property of the at least one element.
