Abstract
A telecopying process and a transmitter-receiver telecopier employing this process. A cell having a smectic liquid crystal is used for recording by thermo-optically forming an intermediate image of a linear element (column portion or a whole line) of the transmitted document, which image is thereafter projected onto a photosensitive surface. The same optical system permits, when transmitting, the reading of this linear element by a mosaic of detectors and, when receiving, the projection onto the photosensitive surface of the intermediate image recorded in the cell.
