ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for converting an electronic signal pattern which comprises a plurality of electronic signals into an image comprising a line of light, with a light intensity profile determined by the electronic signal pattern to achieve a visible display of the signal pattern. A TIR (total internal reflection) type of electro-optic device which has each electrode individually addressed is utilized. To record the displayed signal pattern, the electro-optic device is imaged as a line onto a recording plane so that each individually addressed element of the electro-optic device acts as a light modulator or gate for one picture element along the recording line.
