Electro-optical computing system

Claim 1

AN ELECTRO-OPTICAL SYSTEM COMPRISING: FIRST AND SECOND LAYERS OF ELECTRICALLY SUBSTANTIALLY NONCONDUCTIVE MATERIAL: FIRST AND SECOND PAIRS OF ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS POSITIONED ON SAID FIRST AND SECOND LAYERS, RESPECTIVELY; A SOURCE OF POTENTIAL COUPLED TO SAID FIRST AND SECOND PAIRS OF CONDUCTORS; A PLURALITY OF ELECTRO-OPTICAL ELEMENTS COUPLED BETWEEN SAID FIRST AND SECOND PAIRS OF CONDUCTORS INCLUDING AT LEAST ONE ELECTROLUMINESCENT ELEMENT AND AT LEAST ONE PHOTOCONDUCTIVE ELEMENT COUPLED BETWEEN SAID FIRST PAIR OF CONDUCTORS, AND AT LEAST ONE ELCTROLUMINESCENT ELEMENT COUPLED BETWEEN SAID SECOND PAIR OF CONDUCTORS AND POSITIONED WITH RESPECT SAID SAID PHOTOCONDUCTIVE ELEMENT COUPLED BETWEEN SAID FIRST PAIR OF CONDUCTORS SO THAT LIGHT FROM SAID ELEC-D TROLUMINESCENT ELEMENT COUPLED BETWEEN SAID SECOND PAIR OF CONDUCTORS CAUSES SAID PHOTOCONDUCTIVE ELEMENT COUPLED BETWEEN SAID FIRST PAIR OF CONDUCTORS TO BE ILLUMINATED, AND AT LEAST ONE PHOTOCONDUCTIVE ELEMENT COUPLED BETWEEN SAID SECOND PAIR OF CONDUCTORS AND POSITIONED WITH RESPECT TO SAID ELECTROLUMINESCENT ELEMENT COUPLED BETWEEN SAID FIRST PAIR OF CONDUCTORS SO THAT LIGHT FROM SAID ELECTROLUMINESCENT ELEMENT COUPLED BETWEEN SAID FIRST PAIR OF CONDUCTORS CAUSES SAID PHOTOCONDUCTIVE ELEMENT COUPLED BETWEEN SAID SECOND PAIR OF CONDUCTORS TO BE ILLUMINATED; AND MEANS COUPLED TO SAID FIRST OF CONDUCTORS FOR INHIBITING LIGHT FROM SAID ELECTROLUMINESCENT ELEMENT COUPLED THEREBETWEEN SO THAT SAID ELECTROLUMINESCENT ELEMENT COUPLED BETWEEN SAID SECOND PAIR OF CONDUCTORS EMITS LIGHT.
