Patent Images

1. A display comprising:

  • a first layer having imaging elements positioned thereon; and

    a power circuit to provide electrical energy for the imaging elements, wherein each one of said imaging elements comprises;

    an illumination circuit having an illumination element for generating an amount of light in proportion to the amount of electrical energy received and based upon a control signal that controls the amount of electrical energy passing to the illumination element; and

    a wireless communication circuit for receiving a wireless communication signal encoded with an illumination value and for setting the control signal to have an energy value that controls the amount of electrical energy passing to the illumination element based upon the illumination value, and wherein the power circuit comprises a first electrically conductive layer on the first layer contacting a first portion of each imaging element and a second electrically conductive layer contacting a second portion of each imaging element with an electrical insulator disposed between the first electrically conductive layer and the second electrically conductive layer.
