LCD DISPLAY PANEL INCLUDING SEGMENTED ILLUMINATION SCHEME BY SCROLLING ILLUMINATION OF THE CORRESPONDING PANEL SEGMENTS

摘要

A step -wise scrolling of an LC display device is achieved using an array of modulatable/controllable light sources. The LC display is segmented, and each segment is addressed and subsequently illuminated simultaneously with each of the other segments. In addition to other benefits, this affords performance advantages, while substantially eliminating mechanically moving parts.
