ABSTRACT:
An LCD device for displaying an image includes pixel control electrodes constructed as a transparent metal stack having a photonic band gap (PBG) structure that transmits a visible range of wavelengths and suppresses a non-visible range of wavelengths. A liquid crystal layer between the pixel control electrodes controls the transmission of light in response to a voltage applied across the pixel control electrodes. A light emitting structure (LES), such as a light emitting diode (LED) or light emitting polymer (LEP) device includes a cathode electrode, a substrate, an active layer for emitting visible light, and a transparent anode electrode having a PBG structure.
