Abstract

An apparatus and method for a substrate-supported display system. The apparatus includes a semiconductor substrate, the substrate supporting: a plurality of integrated waveguide structures, each waveguide structure including a guiding channel and one or more bounding regions for propagating a radiation signal from an input to an output; and an influencer system, responsive to a control and coupled to the waveguide structures for independently controlling an amplitude of the radiation signal at the output. An operating method includes a) propagating a radiation signal through each of a plurality of waveguide structures supported in a substrate and arranged into a presentation matrix, each waveguide structure including a guiding channel and one or more bounding regions for propagating a radiation signal from an input to an output; b) controlling independently an amplitude of each the radiation signal at the output of the corresponding waveguide structure; and c) coordinating the radiation signal amplitude control for the plurality of waveguide structures to collectively define a display system from a succession of the amplitude controlled radiation signals.
