摘要： An electro-optical transducer and storage tube employing a bistable semiconductor switching means switched from one state to another responsive to input signals or information for controlling the application of electric fields to areas of a layer of material of the type which provides an optical output responsive to an applied electric field whereby to form an optical display of the signals or information and store the same until the bistable device is switched to its off state. A high density array of bistable switches provides high resolution of optical output, and high current density capability in the bistable switches provides high voltage level switching across the layer providing optical output for optimum brightness of the visual display.
