摘要:
A color filter has a plurality of succesively arranged recurrent groups of different color stripes. An image pickup tube has a photoelectrical conversion target exposed to light passing through the color filter and an index signal generation pattern. The image pickup tube outputs a signal containing a color signal component determined by a carrier which is modulated with the individual color stripes of each recurrent group of the color filter. The output signal from the image pickup tube also contains an index signal component which depends on the index pattern. A first memory holds at least part of the index signal component. The index signal component held by the memory is periodically updated. A second memory holds a portion of the output signal from the image pickup tube which was obtained under conditions where a predetermined color light illuminates the photoelectrical conversion target via the color filter. A reference signal is generated in accordance with the index signal component read from the first memory and with the signal portion read from the second memory. A color signal is detected from the output signal of the image pickup tube by use of the reference signal.

A color filter has recurrent groups of different color stripes. An image pickup tube has a photoelectrical conversion target exposed to light passing through the color filter and an index signal generation pattern. The image pickup tube outputs a signal containing a color signal component and an index signal component which depends on the index pattern. The index signal component has a phase representing a present start position of each scanning line. A memory holds a portion of the output signal from the image pickup tube corresponding to an initial frame period which occurs under conditions where a predetermined color light is applied to the photoelectrical conversion target via the color filter. A reference signal reflects a signal read out from the memory. A color component is detected from the output signal of the image pickup tube by use of the reference signal. The reference signal contains an index signal component which has a phase representing a start position of each scanning line during the initial frame period. A closed-loop phase control system allows the present start position of each scanning line to remain essentially equal to the start position of the corresponding scanning line during the initial frame period. A phase or level shifter is interposed in a loop of the closed-loop phase control system.

In a single-tube color imaging apparatus, the pickup tube includes a photoelectrical conversion target and a filter having recurrent groups of different color stripes through which an optical image is passed to the target. The target is scanned by an electron beam to produce a video signal having a frequency inversely proportional to the intervals at which the recurrent groups are arranged. The video signal varies in phase with the relative values of primary color components contained in the image passing through the stripes of each group and in amplitude with the intensity of the primary color components. Prior to normal operation, the target is uniformly illuminated with light of a predetermined color to generate a reference video signal, which is stored in a field memory. During normal operation, the reference signal is repeatedly read out of the memory and compared by frequency and phase comparators with the video signal from the target. Frequency and phase control circuitry responds to the outputs of the comparators by controlling the frequency and phase relationships between the two signals so that they match in frequency and phase before being applied to synchronous detectors.

An optical comb filter has a plurality of optical comb filter elements disposed successively in the advancing direction of light. The optical comb filter characteristics attenuate and remove specific space frequencies which do not have mutual relationships of odd-number multiples and frequencies of the specific space frequencies. At least one phase plate is interposed between neighboring optical comb filter elements in front and rear positions with respect to the light advancing direction. The phase plate converts a light exiting from the front filter element into a light which is divided in the rear filter element into normal light and abnormal light, exiting with mutually equal light quantity. The normal and abnormal light enters, as incident light, the rear filter element.

A color TV imaging apparatus comprises a TV imaging device for generating a composite color TV video signal by use of a color separation stripe filter, at least two demodulators for individually producing color signal components by demodulating a carrier signal which is generated as an output signal from the imaging device, and a bias light supply device for applying bias light to a photoelectric transducer section of the imaging device through the filter. At least one of the quantity and color temperature of the bias light is set such that the carrier color signals to be demodulated by the demodulators become greater than the peak-to-peak value of noise contained in the signal. The quantity of bias light is adjusted by controlling bias light sources of the bias light supply device, while a color temperature of bias light is selected by means of color temperature conversion filters positioned in light outlet portions of a flat light conducting element which is included in the bias light supply device.

A color television signal generating apparatus comprises a color-resolving striped filter, in a camera tube, for separating the output signal of the camera tube into required signals. The output of the camera tube is a superimposed signal comprising a direct wave signal containing signals of the three primary colors of said addition mixture color, and a high-band signal component comprising a group of modulated color signals resulting from an amplitude modulation of a carrier wave by the signals of two primary colors other than the primary color of the light transmitted through said first filter stripe, said carrier wave having a frequency equal to a space frequency determined by the number of said groups of filter stripes, and said carrier wave also having frequency components which are higher harmonics of the frequency of said carrier wave. The color television signal generating apparatus further comprises a first separation circuit for separating and deriving, out of the output signal of the camera tube, a fundamental wave component signal in which the carrier wave having the frequency equal to the space frequency is amplitude modulated, a second separation circuit for separating and deriving, out of the output signal of the camera tube, a second harmonics wave component signal in which a carrier wave having a frequency twice the space frequency is amplitude modulated, a multiplication circuit for multiplying the output signals of the first and second separation circuits, and a circuit for separating and deriving signals of two primary colors other than the primary color transmitted through the first filter stripe, responsive to the output signals of the multiplication means and the first separation circuit.

A signal processing circuit for a color television camera has filters supplied with a multiplex input signal. The direct wave signal includes a plurality of amplitude-modulated color component signals obtained from a camera tube of a color television camera. The tube filters the high-frequency components of the input signal. Detection and processing circuits detect the output signal of the high-pass filter and produce signals having restored DC components. The circuit provides gamma correction, white clipping, linear clipping, blanking signal mixing, or like signal processing with respect to the produced signal. A low-pass filter passes the input signal from the camera tube and filters the direct wave signal of the input signal. A processing circuit processes the output signals of the low-pass filter, and a matrix circuit matrixes the output signals of the detection and processing circuits to obtain three primary color signals. A color encoder provides a composite color video signal from the three primary color signals produced by the matrix circuit.

A method of electrophotographic printing is disclosed. A recording medium comprising a photoconductive member and photo-modulation member laminated to each other, both exhibiting a photoelectric effect and a sensitized member made of a chargeable photoconductive member are arranged so as to face each other. A first electro-magnetic radiation beam (abbreviated in a beam hereinafter) which is intensity-modulated with data to be recorded is radiated to the recording medium at the photoconductive member side thereof to record the data to the photo-modulation member with the photoelectric effect. A second beam of constant intensity is radiated to the recording medium to emit therefrom a third beam exhibiting intensity variation subjected to the recorded data. The sensitized member is exposed with the third beam to form thereon a charge image corresponding to the recorded data. Toner is stacked onto the sensitized member formed with the charge image to form thereon a toner image. The toner image is then transferred onto a printing paper, thus to perform repeated printing utilizing the data once recorded to the recording medium.
