ABSTRACT:
A display device is provided having a light-emitter for emitting light depending upon predetermined display data, and a display panel having a plurality of elongated optical waveguides for conducting light entering from the light-emitter, and an addresser for extracting light from a predetermined region within the optical waveguide depending upon the predetermined display data. The addresser has column electrodes separately provided respectively for the plurality of optical waveguides and a plurality of elongated row electrodes provided to cross the column electrodes at an opposite side through the optical waveguides. Light is emitted at the predetermined region by applying a voltage to a crossing point of the column electrodes and the row electrodes.
