DISPLAY DEVICE WITH OPTICAL DATA TRANSMISSION

摘要

A display device having a display substrate defining an optical waveguide for transporting light carrying pixel information; a chiplet disposed over the display substrate, having a chiplet substrate separate from the display substrate, a photosensor responsive to light from the optical waveguide at the selected control wavelength for providing the pixel information, a selection circuit responsive to the pixel information for providing a control signal, and a drive circuit responsive to the control signal, wherein the chiplet is adapted to receive the transported light; an optical transmitter for transmitting the pixel information from the controller as light at the selected control wavelength into the optical waveguide, and a display optical element located in or over the display area responsive to the drive circuit for providing light.
