The electrooptical converter comprises sequentially located on the optical
axis: at least one optical lighter, a transparent support or M
transparent supports, each in the form of at least one plane-parallel
plate or at least one prism of total internal reflection, at least one
line modulator, at least one visualizer, a perception device, and at
least one control device. Each line modulator comprises a transparent
electroconducting layer applied to the transparent support, the
electroconducting layer being covered with a transparent gel-like layer,
and a system of i parallel ribbon control electrodes and ground
electrodes, arranged in one plane on a second support corresponding to
each of line modulators and located with a gap above the transparent
gel-like layer and electrically connected to the corresponding control
device. Each transparent support together with the corresponding at least
one line modulator forms a line element. The optical lighter includes a
lengthy light source and a lighting convertible lens sequentially located
on the optical axis, and the visualizer includes a Fourier-objective and
a visualizing diaphragm sequentially located on the optical axis. The
light source is pulse or continuous. The frequency of light pulse
recurrence is equal to the line frequency of the image. The ribbon
control electrodes are electrically connected to the periodic structure
of control teeth, and the ground electrodes are electrically connected to
the periodic structure of ground teeth. For each line pixel the teeth
together with the corresponding electrodes look like two conducting combs
isolated from each other. The combs' teeth are located in parallel to the
lengthy light source, while the location period of the pairs of the
control teeth and ground teeth .lamda..sub.teeth is calculated from the
relation: .lamda..sub.teeth.ltoreq. 2 .lamda..sub.light/.alpha..sub.div,
wherein .lamda..sub.light is a wavelength of the lengthy light source and
.alpha..sub.div (in radians) is a divergence of the radiation of the
light source in a direction perpendicular to the combs' teeth.
