Abstract :
An electro-optical shift register composed only of electroluminescent (EL) and photoconductive (PC) cells was designed and successfully operated. While its measured operating speed probably does not make this shift register currently competitive in high-speed applications, it is amenable to construction in an extremely small volume, and has certain other unique characteristics.
