Abstract
A photographic printer for producing a visible image of information received in the form of a plurality of discrete electrical signals in which the signals are applied respectively to a plurality of devices each of which acts as a source of light in response to an electrical signal and which devices are arranged in an array adjacent to a photosensitive surface to direct light thereon in response to said signals thus to produce an image of the information on the surface. It is preferred form the printer is an electrophotographic printer in which the photosensitive surface is a charged photoconductor so that light from the sources produces a latent electrostatic image which may be developed and transferred to plain paper, for example.
