Method and apparatus for obtaining images of different color intensities combinations and relationships

A method of obtaining a plurality of resultant images reproducing the same pattern with different color intensities, combinations and relationships using at least two different information images each having the same pattern produced from the same master pattern image showing said pattern, said method comprising the steps of

• a. producing at least first and second predetermined information images obtained from said master pattern image
• b. recording said at least first and second information images on respective at least first and second single image storing elements;
• c. successively and repetitively positioning said respective image storing elements at a predetermined position so that said first and second image storing elements are successively and repetitively positioned at said predetermined position;
• d. cyclically performing the steps of snychronously and successively illuminating each of said image storing elements bearing said information images, when the respective storing elements are at said predetermined position, with flashed light of one color selected from at least two primary colors, and superimposing the successive effects resulting from the successive illuminations of the respective image storing elements in order to obtain a resultant image;
• e. said step of positioning said at least first and second storing elements comprising positioning said image storing elements successively in said predetermined position at a rate selected such that the storing element at said position is changed at least six times per second for superimposing said successive effects when seen by the eye, and
• f. varying, during the performance of said cyclically performed steps, at least one of the following parameters;
• the number of at least one information image, and the color of illumination of at least one information image.
