Abstract

A technique of using an electronic device to change light into the facsimile of an image. Signals are generated, indicative of the image shape. An array of electro optical devices are transformed based on the image signals, and those devices are used to transform the light characteristics.

Claims (5)

1. A method for generating a facsimile of an image comprising:

generating at least one electrical signal representative of a particular shape; and

arranging said at least one signal into at least one pixel signals representative of location of at least some points of the image field;

providing an array of electro-optical devices, each transformable between a first condition and a different second condition in response to electromagnetic stimulation; and

using said pixel signals to stimulate the devices in said array to generate at said array a facsimile of said particular shape.
