ABSTRACT:
A selectively populated grid-matrix LCD included in a plush toy for displaying animated facial expressions in synchronism with audible sounds reproduced by the plush toy. The LCD is selectively populated by including electrodes and associated drive electronics only in select regions of the LCD. Thus, the LCD is capable of displaying complex visual display patterns, having an improved contrast and readability at a reduced cost. The plush toy is interactive in that certain actions performed by a child invoke responses from the plush toy. The plush toy is configured to operate in a variety of modes of operation to simulate the toy being in different moods. In this manner, the toy reacts differently to each action depending on the current mode of operation of the toy.
