The device will be at the heart of the screen, creating a voltage over certain yeast cells that will emit fluorescent light as a result. This is controlled by a computer with the aid of LabView. The materials used in the device are biologically inert, i.e. not toxic or damaging to living cells. The device will not only contain an electrode matrix, but also a backlight as a source to invoke fluorescence. Filters will be used to ensure only fluorescent light originating from the yeast cells will actually produce light on the screen.
