A flat, non-vacuum display panel using a lightmodulating layer of a voltage-dependent, optically active material of twisted nematic liquid crystals, X-Y matrix addressed by an array of coextensive, vacuum-deposited, interconnected thin film transistors which are scanned from the periphery of the flat panel by electronic shift registers. The panel is illuminated from the rear by white light, which passes a mosaic color filter for color television display. The invention hereindescribed was made in the course of or under a contract with the U.S. Air Force. |
