Abstract: A laser sublimation type color video printer includes a plurality of dye tanks for accommodating solid powder form sublimating dyes. The dye tanks are communicated with liquid dye vaporizing sections via respective accommodating passages which are formed as capillary tubes provided with heating elements for liquefying dyes introduced from the dye tanks. The heating elements may also be active to heat the surface of photographic paper via a protective layer of the head portion of the printer. Each of the vaporizing sections comprises a plurality of vaporizing pores having a light-heat converting element projected thereinto from a head base of the printer. A laser source is mounted over the light-heat converting element, which may comprise a heat resistant light transmitting portion having a light-heat converting layer disposed on a lower end thereof.

Abstract: An imaging system comprises left and right display panels arranged so as to be viewed separately by left and right eyes of a viewer. A three dimensional video signal is supplied to a drive circuit for the display panels such that image data from the three dimensional video signal is supplied alternately to the left and right display panels. The display panels are of a memory effect LCD type such that, when no image data is received by the display panel, the image data of the previously received field is maintained on display for providing `flickerless` imaging.
