ABSTRACT:
A display device and method of operating the display device. The display device comprising a support substrate, a plurality of 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, 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, 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 individually control when each of the light emitting resonator is in the electro-coupling region, and a light source 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.
