Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to surface-plasmon-enhanced electromagnetic-radiation-emitting devices and to methods of fabricating these devices. The flexible circuit has first, second, and third portions. The cell in an N level array may be formed with N+1 masking steps plus masking steps needed for contacts. The tilt correction magnitude is notified to a tilt correction circuit, and is used in making the tilt correction. The status circuit detects a change in voltage at a point between the fuse and the protection element and creates a fault indication if a voltage change is detected due to the fuse operating.
