ABSTRACT:
A display device and method of operating the display device. The display device comprising a support substrate, a plurality of ring or disk shaped light emitting light emitting resonators placed in a matrix on the support substrate forming a plurality of rows and columns of the light emitting resonators, each of said light emitting resonators having photo-luminescent lumiphore placed in the outer portion of said ring or disk shaped light emitting resonators A plurality of light waveguides positioned on the substrate such that each of the light emitting resonators is associated with an electro-coupling region with respect with to one of the plurality of light waveguides and a deflection mechanism for causing relative movement between a portion of at least one of the plurality of light waveguides and the associated light emitting resonator so as to control when the light emitting resonator is in the electro-coupling region. A light source is associated with each of the plurality of light waveguides for transmitting a light along the plurality of light waveguides for selectively activating each of the light emitting resonators when positioned within the electro-coupling region.
