A three-dimensional display apparatus capable of producing an image in three dimensions without the aid of optical illusions or perspective trickery. The display apparatus is comprised of a plurality of pixels which are, in turn, comprised of a plurality of cells. The cells illuminate in one of the three primary colors red, green and blue such that a combination of a red, green and blue cell into a pixel, is capable of producing any color in the visible spectrum. The cells are oriented in the pixel such that light from the pixel is perceivable in six directions, thereby creating a three-dimensional light source. By combining a plurality of these three-dimensional light sources, i. e. a plurality of pixels in a three-dimensional matrix, a three-dimensional image is capable of being displayed.

A method and apparatus for handling power consumption of a bus-controlled component such that the power requirements of the bus-controlled component are met without drawing excessive power from the computer bus. The apparatus of the present invention includes two embodiment of a bus power handling device that enables power to be obtained directly from a power supply and from a bus slot. In a first embodiment, the bus power handling device fits between the bus slot and the bus-controlled component and enable the component to obtain power directly from a power supply and from the bus slot. In a second embodiment, the bus power handling device is located on the bus-controlled component and allows connection to the power supply and the bus slot. The method of the present invention includes a technique to draw additional power required for the bus-controlled component directly from a power supply. In particular, the method of the present invention includes redirecting power leads of a bus-controlled component from the bus connection to a bus power-handling device and connecting the bus power-handling device to a power supply.
