A three-dimensional computer monitor is provided for displaying information and representations of objects in three dimensions. In a preferred embodiment, the monitor comprises a three dimensional array of optical voxels that are individually activated by energy transmitted through optical fibers coupled to each voxel. The energy, such as visible or ultraviolet light, may be conducted into selected optical fibers using a two dimensional shutter array or a plurality of controllable energy sources, under the direction of a digital computer. The voxels may be made of polymethylmethacrylate doped with a dye that fluoresces when energy, such as ultraviolet light, is introduced into a voxel. A color monitor may be constructed by selecting a plurality of dyes to produce voxels that emit different colors. The intensity of each of, for example, adjacent red, green and blue voxels can be controlled to produce a variety of colors.
