Camera with non-emissive electronic display having field-driven solid phase particles

摘要

An electronic camera includes optics for focusing an image of a subject at an image plane, an area image sensor disposed at the image plane for receiving the image subject and producing a digital image having a plurality of pixels that represent the subject, and a storage structure coupled to the area image sensor for storing the digitized image of the subject. A non-emissive display for displaying an image corresponding to the stored image, includes field-driven solid phase particles disposed in a matrix that can change reflective density in the display in response to an applied electric field, and an electronic addressing arrangement including electrodes for applying voltages across the field-driven particles at particular locations corresponding to pixels in response to the stored image to produce a displayed image of the subject.
