Placement of lumiphores within a light emitting resonator in a visual display with electro-optical addressing architecture

A method for controlling visible light emitting from a display device having plurality of ring or disk shaped light emitting resonators placed in a pattern forming a plurality of rows and columns and a plurality of light waveguides positioned so that each of said light emitting resonators is positioned adjacent one of said plurality of light waveguides, each of said light emitting resonators having photo-luminescent lumiphore placed in the outer portion of said ring or disk shaped light emitting resonators;

• comprising the steps of:
• a. providing a light source associated with each of said plurality of light waveguides for transmitting a light along said associated light waveguide;
• b. providing deflection mechanism for causing relative movement between a portion of at least one of said plurality of light waveguides and said associated light emitting resonator so as to control when said light emitting resonator is in said electro-coupling region;
• c. selectively controlling emission of visible light from said plurality of light emitting resonators by controlling said deflection mechanism and light source such that when said light emitting resonator in said electro-coupling region and a light is transmitted along said associated light waveguide said emission of visible light will occur.
