Abstract
An exemplary high-speed moving optical image selection system includes (1) at least one image viewing area or zone, (2) at least one image projection path to direct images onto the image viewing area or zone, (3) an image storage member where a plurality of images are stored, (4) a motor coupled to the image storage member to rotate the image storage member at a high speed of one rotation in less than 1/50 of a second to move the images into the image projection path, (5) at least one light source that has an light emitting interval of generally less than 10 microseconds, (6) operator control buttons to control and select images, and (7) electronic circuitry to monitor positions of images and to actuate the light source when selected images are in the image projection path.
