Abstract:
A pixel element includes a substrate layer, a reflector layer, and an emitter layer, electrically isolated from the reflector layer. A first potential is applied to the reflector layer, wherein a potential difference between the emitter layer and the corresponding one reflector layer is operable to draw electrons from the emitter layer to the corresponding reflector layer.
