Abstract
Thin film spatial filters are disclosed. The filters are constructed with a continuous thin film of low resistance conductor (for example with a resistance of from 10−2 to 108 Ohms-cm) with plurabilty of resistive elements defining pixels. A thin film of high resistance material is on other side of the pixels in the case of grounded filters. The conductor film provides lateral blurring for image processing.
Claims18
A thin film spatial filter including a single conducting structure of one or two layers of continuous thin film, the conducting structure in electrical connection with a plurality of resistive elements defining pixels, the conducting structure providing lateral blurring for image processing.
