Printing image frames corresponding to motion pictures
First Claim
1. A method of printing a plurality of image frames from a digital image file of a motion picture sequence to a photosensitive medium comprising one or more light-sensitive recording layers, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing at least one two-dimensional OLED modulator, wherein the OLED modulator comprises an array of independently activatable microcavity OLED elements, each OLED element defining an optical cavity for reducing the angle of emission of light from the OLED element and tuning the light output of the OLED element to a limited spectral band emmitance range wavelength matched to the spectral sensitivity of a light-sensitive recording layer of the photosensitive medium;
b) responding to the digital image file to independently activate the OLED elements in the two-dimensional OLED modulator to provide visual images corresponding to each frame of the motion picture sequence; and
c) moving the photosensitive medium past the visual images to illuminate different portions the medium to record the motion picture sequence on the medium.
