The present invention relates to displays including resonant trace structures. Displays are disclosed that include a first array of first electrically conductive traces configured to conduct alternating current, each of the first electrically conductive traces can be coupled to a first microelectromechanical system (MEM) surface acoustic wave (SAW) frequency selective filter. The displays further include a second array of second electrically conductive traces configured to conduct alternating current, each of the second electrically conductive traces can be coupled to a second microelectromechanical system (MEM) surface acoustic wave (SAW) frequency selective filter. The displays further include a material located between at least a portion of the first array and the second array, the material having a property that changes to cause illumination at points of intersection between the first array and the second array in response to current conducted in one or more of the first electrically conductive traces and current conducted in one or more of the second electrically conductive traces.
