Spatial light modulator and display with reduced electrical connectivity requirement
First Claim
1. A spatial light modulator comprising at least three picture elements, each of which comprises a plurality of first elongate electrodes which are connected together and a plurality of second elongate electrodes which are connected together and which are interdigitated with the first electrodes,wherein, the first elongate electrodes of a second of the picture elements are connected to the second elongate electrodes of a first of the picture elements and the second electrodes of the second picture element are connected to the first electrodes of a third of the picture elements, andwherein, the at least three picture elements form at least one row of n picture elements where n is an integer greater than two, the first electrode of each ith picture element being connected to the second electrode of the (i-1)th picture element and the second electrode of each ith picture element being connected to the first electrode of the (i+1)th picture element, where i is each integer satisfying 1<
