Patent ID: 7796234

Claim:
A device display, comprising: a pixel array that includes one or more transflective pixels and one or more non-transflective pixels that differ from the one or more transflective pixels, where the one or more transflective pixels include a plurality of sizes, a plurality shapes, and an arrangement; a light guide that includes: an optically transparent material, and a plurality of optical fibers embedded in the optically transparent material, where the plurality of optical fibers are substantially parallel, each of the plurality of optical fibers includes a first end and a second end, and each of the plurality of optical fibers is to guide light along a length by total internal reflection, the one or more transflective pixels being aligned with the first ends of the plurality of optical fibers, and the one or more non-transflective pixels not being aligned with the first ends of the plurality of optical fibers, where each of the plurality of optical fibers is sized, shaped, and arranged to correspond, respectively, to one of the plurality of sizes, one of the plurality of shapes, and the arrangement of an associated one of the one or more transflective of pixels; and a reflective mechanism provided at and in contact with the second ends of the plurality of optical fibers, where the reflective mechanism is to reflect light, received by one of the plurality of pixels, back to the one of the one or more transflective pixels via a corresponding one of the plurality of optical fibers.
