ABSTRACT:
The disclosed invention relates to an electro-optical device for use with a facsimile printer, telecopier, etc., designed to accommodate line-at-a-time output of picture information with the aid of an electrically controllable electro-optical substrate. In particular, there is disclosed a solution to the problem of adjusting the electro-optical elements to provide the desired rectilinear output of picture information. The electro-optically active substrate (1) is supported in a frame-like housing (17) such that it may be adjusted perpendicularly relative to a longitudinal edge (18) of the substrate (1) by means of an adjustable ledge (31) and a resilient support (33). A beam of light from a light source (37) is shaped and directed onto the substrate by means of a light-shape converter (36) which can be adjusted relative to the substrate by means of a cross slide arrangement (51, 57) having 2.degree. freedom. In this way the linear array of active areas (4) of the substrate (1) and the line of light emanating from the light-shape converter (36) can also be adjusted exactly parallel in relation to one another.
