Claim 1
Independent Claim
114 words
IN A LIGHT VALVE PROJECTION SYSTEM HAVING A DEFORMABLE MEDIUM, A SOURCE OF ELECTRONS FOR STRIKING SAID DEFORMABLE MEDIUM AND A LIGHT SOURCE COMPRISING AN ARC-DISCHARGE LAMP INCLUDING A PAIR OF ARC-DISCHARGE ELECTRODES HAVING A DESIRED ATMOSPHERE THEREBETWEEN, A MEANS FOR PROVIDING AN IONIZING VOLTAGE FOR THE LAMP COMPRISING: A SOURCE OF RELATIVELY HIGH DIRECT CURRENT VOLTAGE FOR ACCELERATING A STREAM OF ELECTRONS FROM THE ELECTRON SOURCE TOWARD THE DEFORMABLE MEDIUM, MEANS COUPLING SAID SOURCE OF HIGH VOLTAGE BETWEEN THE ELECTRODES OF SAID LAMP FOR CAUSING IONIZATION OF THE ATMOSPHERE THEREBETWEEN, SAID COUPLING MEANS INCLUDING MEANS FOR AUTOMATICALLY DECOUPLING SAID HIGH VOLTAGE SOURCE FROM SAID LAMP WHEN AN OPERATING CURRENT FLOWS IN SAID LAMP.
