Patent ID: 6999195

Claim:
A method of imaging a digital display onto an image plane, said method comprising the steps of: a) providing a digital display, a plurality of lenses, and an image plane onto which a photosensitive medium may be superposed, said digital display, said plurality of lenses, and said image plane are spaced along an optical axis extending from said digital display through said plurality of lenses, and toward said image plane such that a digital image provided by said display can be brought into focus onto said image plane by said plurality of lenses, and one of said plurality of lenses is a transposable lens, said transposable lens capable of being transposed out of said optical axis during the operation of a printer; b) illuminating said digital display with a first digital image data set for a fixed period of time, turning off said digital display; c) transposing said transposable lens a fixed distance, in a first direction; d) illuminating said digital display for a second fixed period of time, using a second digital image data set, turning off said digital display; and e) whereby said method of imaging increases the perceived resolution of the digital image focused onto said image plane.
