Photoelectric storage devices using jacketed light fibers

Claim 1

PHOTOELECTRIC CIRCUIT EEMENTS COMPRISING: A FIRST LIGHT TRANSPARENT ELECTRODE; A PHOTOCONDUCTOR LAYER CONNECTED OPERATIVELY WITH SAID FIRST ELECTRODE; A PLURALITY OF SECOND ELECTRODES INIMATELY JOINED AND THEREBY CONNECTED OPERATIVELY WITH SAID PHOTOCONDUCTOR LAYER: A THIRD LIGHT TRANSPARENT ELECTRODE SPACED APART FROM SAID FIRST ELECTRODE: AN ELECTROLUMINESCENT LAYER INTIMATELY JOINED WITH SAID THIRD ELELECTRODE; A PLURALITY OF FOURTH ELECTRODES INTIMATELY JOINED WITH SAID ELECTROLUMINESENT LAYER; AND A PLURALITY OF LIGHT CONDUCTOR MEANS BONDED TOGETHER IN A CLOSELY PACKED ARRAY INTERMEDIATE SAID FIRST ELECTRODE AND SAID THIRD ELECTRODE FOR CONDUCTING LIGHT SELECTIVELY FROM SAID ELECTROLUMINESCENT LAYER TO SAID PHOTOCONDUCTOR LAYER; EACH OF SAID LIGHT CONDUCTOR MEANS COMPRISING A FIBER AND JACKET ASSEMBLY OF LIGHT CONDUCTOR MATERIALS DRAWN TOGETHER TO PROVIDE A SMOOTH HERMETICALLLY SEALED INTERFACE AT AND ALONG THE JUNCTURE OF A FIREPOLISHED FIBER SURFACE FUSED TO A FIRE-POLISHED JACKET INNER SURFACE; AND SAID FIBER HAVING A PREDETERMINED INDEX OF REFRACTION AND SAID JACKET HAVING AN INDEX OF REFRACTION LESS THAN SAID PREDETERMINED INDEX FOR CONTROLLING THE REFLECTION OF LIGHT THROUGH SAID FIBER AND REFLECTION OF LIGHT TO SAID PHOTOCONDUCTOR LAYER; SAID PHOTOCONDUCTOR LAYER EFFECTING A SHORT CIRCUIT BETWEEN SAID FIRST ELECTRODE AND SAID SECOND ELECTRODES UPON THE CONDUCTION OF LIGHT FROM SAID ELECTROLUMINESCENT LAYER TO SAID PHOTOCONDUCTOR LAYER ADJOINING SAID SECOND ELECTRODES.
