ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic display screen for use in high ambient light environments. A source of high intensity light is provided the output of which is controlled by a light gate control. The light gate control comprises a plurality of individual light shutters which pass or obstruct light from the high intensity light. Each of the plurality of light shutters includes an optic fiber which extends from the shutter output to an area remote therefrom where the distal ends of the fibers are terminated along the same vertical plane with each of the optic fibers positioned in the same relative location as the shutter end. Light passing through individual shutters of the plurality of shutters is displayed at the same location at the distal ends thereof. By selectively operating specific shutters to allow light from the high intensity light to pass through the optic fibers intelligent information can be formed at the distal ends of the plurality of optic fibers. This information can be readily seen under high ambient light conditions.
