105. A multi-color display comprising a plurality of display elements in a self-organized array disposed on a substrate;
- wherein said plurality of display elements is comprised of two or more colors of display elements self-organized by color so that each said display element has at least one nearest neighbor that is of a different color; and
wherein display elements of each color are characterized by at least one surface or shape property that promotes association of display elements with other display elements of a different color and inhibits association of display elements with other display elements of the same said color. - View Dependent Claims (106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116)
- wherein said plurality of display elements is comprised of two or more colors of display elements self-organized by color so that each said display element has at least one nearest neighbor that is of a different color; and
-
117. A multi-color display comprising a plurality of display elements in a self-organized array, each said display element including a light emitting element responsive to a control signal;
- wherein said plurality of display elements is comprised of two or more colors of display elements self-organized by color so that each said display element has at least one nearest neighbor that is of a different color;
wherein display elements of each color are characterized by at least one surface or shape property that promotes association of display elements with other display elements of a different color and inhibits association of display elements with other display elements of the same said color. - View Dependent Claims (122, 123, 125)
- wherein said plurality of display elements is comprised of two or more colors of display elements self-organized by color so that each said display element has at least one nearest neighbor that is of a different color;
-
118. The multi-color display of claim 1117, wherein said light emitting element is directly responsive to said control signal.
-
119. The multi-color display of claim 1117, wherein said light emitting element is responsive to said control signal following processing of said control signal by electronic or optical circuitry.
-
120. The multi-color display of claim 1117, wherein said light emitting element emits light in response to said control signal.
-
121. The multi-color display of claim 1117, wherein said light emitting element stops emitting light in response to said control signal.
-
124. The multi-color display of claim 1117, wherein said control signal includes an optical signal.
-
126. A multi-color display comprising a plurality of display elements in a self-organized array;
- wherein said plurality of display elements is comprised of two or more colors of display elements self-organized by color so that each said display element has at least one nearest neighbor that is of a different color;
wherein display elements of each color are characterized by at least one surface or shape property that promotes association of display elements with other display elements of a different color and inhibits association of display elements with other display elements of the same said color; and
wherein one or more of said display elements includes a light emitting element capable of emitting light in a respective range corresponding to one or more of the colors in response to a control signal and a carrier in which said light emitting element is housed, said carrier characterized by said at least one surface or shape property and conferring said at least one surface or shape property on said display element. - View Dependent Claims (127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133)
- wherein said plurality of display elements is comprised of two or more colors of display elements self-organized by color so that each said display element has at least one nearest neighbor that is of a different color;
