LIGHT VALVE DISPLAY DEVICE HAVING INTEGRATED DRIVING CIRCUITS

摘要

A display device and operational method wherein driving and controlling electronic circuits are provided along with a liquid crystal layer as part of a unitary structure. An array of independent pixel reflective electrodes are provided behind the liquid crystal layer and are individually driven by the electronic circuits provided as part of the device. A light and electrostatic shield is provided between the electrode array and the integrated electronic circuit. The shield can also be utilized as a third electrode to bias the liquid crystal for faster response when voltages are applied to the individual electrodes.
