Methods and devices for transceiving light via a display device

A light display transceiver device comprising:

• a light source array including rows or columns of cooperating single pixels;
• control wires joined with each of said rows or columns of cooperating single pixels;
• and
• a controller joined with said control wires for controlling each of said rows or columns of cooperating single pixels;
• wherein said light source array includes at least one of three modes of operation, a full-space-division-duplex (FSDD) mode, a half-space-division-duplex (HSDD) mode, and a time-division-duplex (TDD) mode and said controller causes said light source array to operate in one of said modes;
• and
• wherein said control wires are a conduit for relaying a first control signal from said controller to said single pixels in said light source array including instructions that cause said single pixels to operate in a display mode, a second control signal from said controller to said single pixels in said light source array including instructions that cause said single pixels to operate in a transmitter mode, a third control signal from said controller to said single pixels in said light source array including instructions that cause said single pixels to operate in a receiver mode, or a combination thereof.

A method of controlling a light source array comprising:

• providing a light source array including rows or columns of cooperating single pixels;
• providing a controller that is in electronic communication with each of said rows or columns of cooperating single pixels via control wires joined with said controller and each of said rows or columns of cooperating single pixels;
• and
• separately transmitting control signals from said controller to each of said rows or columns of cooperating single pixels in a predetermined order;
• wherein a number of said control wires joined with said light source array is one of three times the number of rows (N) times the number of columns (M) in said light source array, three-halves NM, or N+3M.
