First Claim
Patent Images

1. A device for generating an image comprising:

  • a substrate;

    an array of image elements operatively connected to the substrate, each image element comprising first and second electrodes,the first and second electrodes adapted to be connected to a power source;

    each of the image elements having an inactive state in which the image elements operate to reflect light in a first direction when no voltage potential is applied to the first and second electrodes; and

    an active state where the image element reflects light other than the first direction when a voltage potential is applied to at least one of the first and second electrodes;

    programming circuitry connected to each of the image elements to program whether or not the image element is in an active or inactive state;

    activation circuitry interconnecting at least one of the first or second electrodes;

    the activation circuitry adapted to be connected to a power source;

    whereby when the activation circuitry receives power from a power source, the image elements in the array which are not in an active state will reflect light in predominately in a first direction; and

    those image elements in an active state will reflect light predominately in a direction other than the first direction to thereby display an image.
