ABSTRACT:
A display system having a greyscale control arrangement for controlling light output from a plurality of optical fibers includes a light source effective for supplying a high brightness light output to the input ends of the plurality of optical fibers. A plurality of piezoelectric shutter members are disposed adjacent the light delivery ends of the optical fibers and are effective for controlling the delivery of light output through the optical fibers as a function of the on or off condition thereof. The delivery ends of the optical fibers are disposed relative to one another so as to form a plurality of display pixels. At least two of the optical fibers are combined to form each of the pixels. The diameters of the at least two optical fibers that make up each pixel are different thereby allowing that at least four different greyscale levels can be achieved for each display pixel.
