Claim Text:
1. A frequency visualization apparatus for detecting and displaying one or more specific sets of energy waves based on one or more defined discrete sets of frequency ranges, the apparatus comprising: a power source; a first receiver comprising an array of frequency detector elements for receiving a first set of energy waves and outputting a set of frequency output signals; a microprocessor connected to the power source and the first receiver, the microprocessor further comprising data storage for storing pre-defined energy threshold values for one or more specified frequency ranges and outputting corresponding LED input signals by assigning each applicable individual frequency detector element an active status if the particular frequency detector element receives a frequency output signal that meets one of the predefined energy threshold values and wherein the microprocessor assigns each applicable individual frequency detector elements a non-active status if the particular frequency detector element does not receive a frequency output signal that meets one of the predefined energy threshold values; a light emitting matrix connected to the microprocessor, the light emitting matrix comprising a plurality of discrete light emitting picture elements, each picture element paired to a specific frequency detector element in the array, wherein each individual picture element will only become energized based on one of the plurality of corresponding LED input signals if the particular frequency detector element paired with that particular picture element has received a set of energy waves that meets one of the predefined energy threshold values; a collimator in optical alignment with the light emitting matrix for receiving light produced from the light emitting picture elements, and collimating such light from the light emitting picture elements; a mirror in optical alignment with the collimator, the mirror for directing light transferred from the collimator, the mirror for directing light transferred from the collimator to a light beam combination apparatus; and a second receiver connected to the microprocessor, the second receiver comprising an optical assembly comprising an optical detector array subdivided into discrete picture elements for receiving light waves within the visual electromagnetic spectrum, the light beam combination apparatus in optical alignment with the mirror and the optical assembly wherein the light beam combination apparatus is configured to combine light from the discrete picture elements from the mirror with the light received from the optical assembly, thereby forming a combined superimposed image for viewing by a user.
