ABSTRACT:
A reading, printing and copying device in which a film image sensor, liquid crystal shutter and drive unit are all fabricated upon a single transparent substrate. The film image sensor includes a plurality of individual photosensing elements, each of which is connected to a transparent electrode covered by a liquid crystal layer in the liquid crystal shutter. The drive unit of the device first couples each of the film image sensing units to a charging potential, after which the incident light determines the final potential of each of the electrodes, and hence the transmissivity of the portion of the liquid crystal layer associated with the transparent electrode coupled to the respective photoconductive element. The outputs of the photoconductive elements are also switchably couplable to an output terminal to provide a serial output signal. Light is shone onto the liquid crystal shutter. The amount of light transmitted through the liquid crystal shutter is controlled by the amount of light reflected from an original to be copied falling upon the film image sensor. The light transmitted through the liquid crystal shutter is applied to a photosensitive copying device.
