Abstract: An exposure and pressure applicator device for use in printing an image onto an imaging media, containing photosensitive microcapsules comprising: an exposure means adjacent to the imaging media comprising at least one exposure-producing element which image-wise exposes the imaging media providing a latent image thereon; a pressure applicator means containing at least one point contact element to apply a uniform rupturing force to the exposed imaging media; and motive means for effectuating synchronous movement of both exposure means and pressure applicator means relative to the imaging media, are described.

Abstract: An image signal processing apparatus includes a vertical register for storing and transferring color signals obtained as image signals related to at least three primary colors, a horizontal register for receiving the color signals transferred from the vertical register and a transfer controller for succeedingly transferring a series of color signals for every color composed of a series of data or one and the same color for one line related to the three primary colors, to the horizontal register in every horizontal blanking period, and for successively transferring and outputting the series of color signals transferred to the horizontal register. As a result, the image signal processing apparatus is made of a small size at a reduced cost by simplifying the circuit configuration.
