ABSTRACT:
Both a method of producing an image in accordance with an input signal having a location and brightness information and an apparatus for displaying such image are disclosed in the present application. The method comprises activating an energy source which emits photons in accordance with the brightness information of the input signal and processing the emitted photons for selected transmission along a predetermined path and in a manner to form a region of high photon energy at a location on the predetermined path in accordance with location information of the input signal. This method can be enhanced by allowing for production of a colored image when the input signal additionally includes color information. The color is achieved by selectively passing the emitted photons through colored filters in accordance with the color information to thereby impart the color. The apparatus for reproducing an image in accordance with the input signal comprises a plurality of light conduits parallel to the screen which collectively define an area for displaying the image. A light source is provided for the light conduits and the emitted light is processed for selective transmission in the light conduits having a brightness in accordance with the brightness information of the input signal and in a manner to produce regions of concentrated emitted light in the conduits in accordance with the location information.
