ABSTRACT:
An optical display comprised of an array of small focusable image elements in conjuction with a corresponding array of optical stops or filters, one optical stop or filter being aligned with each image element. Upon the application of a force field to selected ones of the image elements, the optical focal point of those image elements is changed to thereby allow ambient light incident upon those image elements to be focused differently than it was prior to the application of the electric field whereby the optical stops aligned with the selected image elements intercept a different portion of the ambient light reflected or transmitted the selected image elements than do the optical stops aligned with non-selected image elements to thereby provide a display having light and dark areas.
