DEVICE AND MEDIUM FOR ANIMATION AND METHOD OF PHOTOGRAPHING PICTURE RAPIDLY AND CONTINUOUSLY

摘要

An electric charge holding medium (41) is fed successively at a predetermined speed in such a way that the medium (41) faces a photosensitive body (40) rotating (or reciprocating) as shown in Fig. 8. Using a system of beam-scanning exposure, linear slit-scanning exposure, or whole area exposure of, for example, one frame per 1/60 second, images can be photographed as frames of an animated cartoon by synchronizing the exposure timing with the movement of the photosensitive body (40) and with the feed of the electric charge holding medium (41) and by recording pictures on the medium successively through exposing with application of a voltage or with short-circuit lightening after charging the electric charge holding medium. Further, electrostatic images of high quality can be obtained successively attenuating rapidly an after-image on the photosensitive body and eliminating its effect, by erasing a residual charge image through projecting a light on the photosensitive body (40) with a light source (45) for erasing, by performing the removal of the electric charges or uniform charging through bringing a conductive member into contact with the photosensitive body, by performing uniform charging through DC or AC discharge, or by performing the leaking of the electric charges through heating, a conductive liquid or vapour, etc.
