An improved solid state pyroelectric imaging system having readout of the cture elements of the pyroelectric disc in a plurality of parallel readout channels. Each picture element of a given line is sequentially connected through photoconductive switches to an amplifier and a display device.

Pyroelectric solid state imager

A pyroelectric vidicon system that converts a still infrared image into tmal and a consequent visible image that is free of flicker or image motion. The required changes of temperature patterns on the retina of the vidicon to observe still images is provided by an optico-mechanical device having reflecting surfaces in which one of the reflecting surfaces moves the infrared image over the retina and another of the reflecting surfaces compensates for this movement by simultaneously moving the visible image projected from a closed circuit television monitor which is viewed by an observer as a still image.

Panning pyroelectric vidicon system

A photon sensitive film resistor is provided having a resistance measured megohms per centimeter. The method of fabrication insures that the resistance is uniformly distributed along the current path.
