Abstract:
1. An array of pixel assemblies emitting multiple wavelengths in a direction, comprising: a plurality of pixel assemblies, each respective pixel assembly having a respective pixel area, the respective pixel assembly formed by: one or more waveguides made from electro-optically active material; a plurality of different wavelength emitters, the different wavelength emitters disposed at one or more of the ends of the respective one or more waveguides to propagate their respective wavelengths therealong and capable of being switched, wherein each of the respective waveguides has at least two of the different wavelength emitters emitting at respective different wavelengths and disposed to propagate their respective wavelengths along the respective waveguide; and at least one switch disposed in relation to the one or more waveguides to cause when activated, a shifting of the wavelengths propagating in the one or more waveguides of the pixel assembly by substantially 90 degrees to be emitted through the respective pixel area; and a backplane with an electronic circuit for switching the plurality of switches and the emitters.
