Direct Image Conversion Display System.
Abstract
A system is provided for viewing a source of visual information, the system including an array of discrete light detecting elements, a given one of the light detecting elements being capable of generating an analog signal which represents the intensity of light which impinges upon it. Adjustable optics are provided for selectively focusing an image of the information source upon the array of light detecting elements so that each of the picture elements comprising the focused image impinges upon a different light detecting element. An electronics package coupled to the array of light detecting elements selectively processes the analog signals, and an array of discrete level display elements provides a viewable image of the visual information, each of the display elements continuously, or uninterruptedly, representing the intensity of the light which impinges upon one of the light detecting elements for the duration of a selected viewing period.
