Economically important applications for semiconductor photonic devices include optical data recording, fiber optic telecommunications, laser printing (based on xerography), displays, and optical pumping of high-power lasers.
Photoconductive chalcogenide glasses are used in xerography.
The series, produced in color, had extremely limited animation produced by xerography, consisting of photocopied images taken directly from the comics and manipulated to minimize the need for animation production.
The development of xerography has led to new technologies that some predict will eventually eradicate traditional offset printing machines.
He is most noted for his prolific contributions to the field of xerography, specifically the development of the modern photocopier.
Static electricity is commonly used in xerography, air filters, and some automotive paints.
Copiers can also use other technologies such as ink jet, but xerography is standard for office copying.
They were less expensive to manufacture than xerographic copiers, although the paper was slightly more costly than the plain paper used by xerography.
