Abstract
Image source, for converting image data in the form of serial charges into a high-resolution imagewise light pattern, combines semiconductor charge-coupled devices for receiving the charges, associated small-scale field emission arrays for converting the charges to imagewise pattern of electron emissions, an electron multiplier for intensifying the electron emissions, and a luminescent phosphor layer susceptible to light output according to the impact of the intensified electron emission. The light output may be directed onto a photosensitive image recording medium to provide for image recording. Second and third embodiments of the contemplated image source provide light output that forms an image to be viewed directly.
