Patent ID: 7113663

Claim:
A display device, comprising: a. a support substrate; b. a plurality of light emitting resonators placed in a matrix on said support substrate forming a plurality of rows and columns of said light emitting resonators; c. a plurality of light waveguides positioned on said substrate such that each of said light emitting resonators is associated with an electro-coupling region with respect with to one of said plurality of light waveguides; d. a deflection mechanism for causing relative movement between a portion of at least one of said plurality of light waveguides and said associated light emitting resonator so as to individual control when each of said light emitting resonator is in said electro-coupling region, said deflection mechanism comprises pairs of electrodes associated with each of said plurality of light emitting resonators and an triggering electrode associated with each of said pairs of electrodes for selecting deflecting a portion of said waveguide associated with one of said plurality of light emitting resonators whereby when a voltage is applied across said pair of electrodes and said triggering electrodes associated with said selected resonator that field is produced which caused said at least one waveguide to move into said electro-coupling region; and e. a light source associated with each of said plurality of light waveguides for transmitting a light along said plurality of light waveguides for selectively activating each of said light emitting resonators when positioned within said electro-coupling region.
