Visual display with electro-optical addressing architecture

A method for controlling visible light emitting from a display device having a plurality of light emitting resonators placed in a pattern forming a plurality of rows and columns and a plurality of wave light guides positioned so that each of said light emitting resonators is positioned adjacent one of said plurality of wave light guides 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 for controlling 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.
