Abstract
An array of flexible reflective fingers, light from a source impinging on the fingers which reflect the light in a first path, the fingers bending when a predetermined potential is applied to reflect the light in a second path, one of the paths impinging on a recording member, a source of annotated image signals, and a control for applying the potential selectively to individual fingers of the array in response to the annotated image signals to expose the recording member and create an annotated image on the recording member.
