Reducing cross talk effects in electro-optical addressing structures

An electro-optical addressing structure for addressing and delivering data signals of plural magnitudes to plural address locations arranged in an array, the plural magnitudes corresponding to plural electro-optical activation levels and multiple address locations having incidental electrical couplings that carry incidental data components between the address locations, comprising:

• a frequency-sensitive electro-optic material responsive to data signals of plural manitudes delivered to the address locations and having a relatively small dielectric anisotropy for signal frequencies greater than a characteristic threshold frequency;
• and
• data drive means for delivering the data signals of plural magnitudes to the plural address locations so as to selectively address display elements with data signals of frequencies less than the characteristic threshold frequency and to form incidental data components at frequencies greater than the characteristic threshold frequency.

An electro-optical addressing structure for addressing and delivering data signals of plural magnitudes to plural address locations arranged in an array, the plural magnitudes corresponding to plural electro-optical activation levels and multiple address locations having incidental electrical couplings that carry incidental data signals among the address locations, comprising:

• an electro-optic material that is substantially nonresponsive to signal frequencies greater than a characteristic threshold frequency;
• and
• data drive means for delivering the data signals of plural magnitudes to the plural address locations so as to selectively address display elements with data signals of frequencies less than the characteristic threshold frequency and to form incidental data signals with components of frequencies greater than the characteristic threshold frequency.
