IMAGE CREATOR Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: forming of labels to protect against forging, copying of information.

SUBSTANCE: device can also be used for direct transformation of properties of materials and production of micron and sub-micron size functional structures without using resistive masks. Device has vacuumed camera inside which accelerated electron beam source is placed with divergence angle of 20 degrees. Device also has spatial modulator and unit for registering images; both last members are placed on the way of the beam. Spatial modulator is made in form of plate provided with holes. Side walls of all the holes are provided with pair of electrodes disposed opposite to each other. One of electrode of each pair is connected with power source through common wire and the other one - through controlled commutator. Micron and sub-micron sizes of elements of images are provided as well as increase in carrying capacity of any hole, simultaneous and independent control of carrying capacity of all the holes and creation of multi-layer images without spatial modulator and means for fixing images getting used .

EFFECT: improved efficiency of operation.
