Recent progress on a high-resolution, meshless, direct-view storage tube

Abstract

Photographic film is an excellent display medium, with a wide dynamic range, high resolution, and an integration capability. It has some limitations, however, because it is not a real-time medium, i.e., the signal is not visible immediately upon application to the film; at least several seconds must elapse before the recorded signal is developed. In addition, film is not reusable; consequently, when no permanent record is required, the use of film is extremely wasteful.
