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 means for image recording. Second and third embodiments of the contemplated image source provide light output that forms an image to be viewed directly.

W. S. Boyle and G. E. Smith disclose in "Charge Coupled Semiconductor Devices", Bell System Technical Journal, v. 49, Apr. 1970, pp. 587-593, that the basic shift register concept may be used to construct a recirculating memory or used as a delay line. A display device is said to be constructed by the process of reading in the information (minority carriers) via shift register action and then forward biasing the MIS structure to force the minority carriers into the bulk where radiation recombination takes place.
