Abstract
A display system includes an electronic display, a power supply physically separate from the display, and a means for electrically coupling the display with the power supply. The display may include nonlinear devices such as printed, particulate Schottky diodes, particulate PN diodes, particulate varistor material, silicon films formed by chemical reduction, or polymer semiconductor films. Elements of the display system may be deposited using a printing process.

An electronic display system comprising:
- a. an electronic display;
- b. a power supply physically separate from the display;
- and
- c. means for electrically coupling the display with the power supply.
1 more element
A graduated display comprising:
- a. a plurality of display units arranged in parallel, each display unit comprising a particle-based, nonemissive display device and a nonlinear element connected thereto, each of the nonlinear elements having a different breakdown voltage;
- and
- b. a power source, having a source voltage, connected across the display units, the power source activating any of the display units whose nonlinear-element breakdown voltages does not exceed the source voltage.
