ABSTRACT:
A display includes a screen having a first region of a color light emissive material and a second region of a monochrome material. In one embodiment, the color light emissive material is formed from triads of red, green and blue triads of subregions. A first set of emitters grouped in threes is aligned to the first region and a second set of emitters is aligned to the second region. The first set of emitters is driven by red, green, and blue components of a color image signal to produce a multicolor display. The second set of emitters is driven by a monochrome image signal to produce a monochrome display. In a display assembly according to the invention, the first and second sets of emitters are incorporated on a common substrate. The first set of emitters forms a fixed text subdisplay and the second set of emitters is arranged as a conventional matrix addressable array. The matrix addressable array provides video, graphical or textual information and the subdisplay provides textual, fixed-shaped graphical, numerical or color-coded information.
