ABSTRACT:
A device for displaying two-dimensional or three-dimensional images in which there is a light receiving system integrated, and unnoticeable, within the display itself through which the light receiving system can enable the image emitting system to display the same image that is being received or sending the image elsewhere, or both. Three devices are described for accomplishing this. The first is a two-dimensional system in which is shown a fiber optic faceplate with about half of the fibers separated and extended from the faceplate. About one half being the light receiving fiber and about the other half being the light emitters for image presentation. The light receiver could be a video camera, photo diode or other form of light receiver. The light emitter could be a diode, CRT or other form of light emitter. Also shown is the use of one and the same individual fiber optic being used to simultaneously receive and transmit an image such that separate fibers are not mandatory for this invention to operate. The second is a three-dimensional system in which is shown a same general system as the two-dimensional system except that multiple light sources are simultaneously being emitted from the same fiber optic pixel at different, non-interfering angles. The third system is the same as the three-dimensional system. The difference is that the multi-shaped display shown can be rendered transparent to varying degrees by displaying the image being received from behind the display.
