Method and system for generating an image having multiple hues

A multi-hue intensified image generator comprising:

• an input filter for receiving photons and filtering received photons, said input filter comprising sections for filtering photons of a predetermined hue;
• an image intensifier for receiving filtered photons from said input filter, said image intensifier multiplying said photons;
• an output filter for receiving filtered and intensified photons from said image intensifier, said output filter comprising sections for filtering photons of a predetermined hue, said sections movable using a displacement device;
• and
• a multi-hue display device for displaying a multi-hue intensified image comprising a display that displays an image perceived as having multiple hues when said input filter and said output filter are moved at a sufficient frequency.

A method of generating an intensified multi-hue image comprising:

• providing a first filter for receiving photons, said first filter comprising sections for filtering received photons of predetermined hues;
• providing an image intensifier for receiving filtered photons from said first filter;
• providing a second filter for receiving filtered and intensified photons from said image intensifier, said second filter comprising sections for filtering received photons of predetermined hues;
• providing an output device for receiving photons from said second filter and generating a displayed image using said received photons;
• and
• moving said first filter and said second filter using at least one displacement device, said first filter and said second filter being moved at a frame rate that generates a displayed image on said phosphor screen perceived as having multiple colors.

A multi-hue image intensifier comprising:

• means for input filtering received photons;
• means for intensifying receiving photons from said means from input filtering, said means comprising a microchannel array;
• means for output filtering, said means operable to receive photons from said means for intensifying;
• means for receiving output, said means operable to receive photons from said means for output filtering.
• means for moving said input filtering means and said output filtering means.
