PCT No. PCT/NO96/00187 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 8, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 8, 1998 PCT Filed Jul. 18, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/04448 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 6, 1997In a method for parallel writing and reading of data in an optical memory, the optical memory includes one or more microlenses for accessing a memory medium, individually addressable elements arranged in one or two-dimensional matrices in a write/read device are activated. The activation of an element physically influences one or more localized areas in a data carrying layer in the memory for writing and reading of data carrying structures in the localized area. Writing and reading is thus performed on the basis of a relationship between the geometric location of the element in the matrix and the position of the localized area(s) in the data carrying layer of the memory. A write/read device includes individually addressable elements which are arranged in one or two-dimensional matrices, the addressable element being arranged to be activated in order to physically influence one or more of the above-mentioned localized areas. Use for such a configuration includes, for example, writing and reading in optical memories which consist of 1-100 microlenses with associated data carrying layers and in optical memories which consist of a transparent spherical particle having a transparent layer to which is applied a data carrying film arranged on one side thereof. |
