Abstract:
An image photography and reproducing apparatus comprising:a pair of image taking lenses in right and left;at least one image receiving device for receiving an image formed by said pair of image taking lenses to generate an image signal representative of a color image;an image receiving device driving unit for driving said image receiving device to receive the image;a recording medium driving unit onto which a portable recording medium is detachably loaded for recording image information on the recording medium loaded;a liquid crystal display unit having a transmissive liquid crystal plate having a number of pixels arranged on a two-dimensional basis, on which an image is formed, and a light source unit emitting beams of light of plurality of luminescent colors for irradiating said liquid crystal plate from back;an interface circuit for receiving an image signal representative of a color image to sequentially form on said liquid crystal plate a plurality of separation images in which the color image is separated in association with the plurality of luminescent colors of said light source unit, said interface circuit causing said light source unit to flash with a luminescent color associated with a separation image formed on said liquid crystal plate in synchronism with a sequential formation of the separation images onto said liquid crystal plate;a pair of eyepiece window through which a person looks with one's right and left eyes;an image reproducing optical system for transmitting to said pair of eyepiece window outgoing light carrying the image formed on said liquid crystal plate, the outgoing light being emitted from said liquid crystal display unit; anda control unit for causing image information associated with the image signal generated from said image receiving device to be recorded on the loaded recording medium, and for causing image signal obtained from the recording medium to be transmitted to said interface circuit.
