Abstract
Abstract A multiple display system for the display of electronically processed data includes a deformographic storage tube in which a deformographically created image pattern is generated. High intensity projection light is directed at the deformographic storage tube and a plurality of separate images of the pattern are displayed by a controlled scanning arrangement. One of the images may be projected upon a thermomagnetic recording medium so as to induce in the thermomagnetic sensitive medium a retained pattern corresponding to the deformographically created image pattern. From the thermomagnetic recording medium, the retained pattern may be transferred to a further recording medium such as through a magnetoxerography process.
