Abstract of the Invention
A direct positive light sensitive projection photographic recording material having right-reading and rapid field processing is disclosed. The film or paper utilizes a novel sensitive negative layer adjacent to an absorber layer juxtaposed with a nucleation and reversal layer to form a sensitive surface on one side, and a right-reading positive photograph on the other side. The invention allows rapid, near instantaneous photographic capture with a camera, a scanner or a projector onto a conveniently sized, practical display format having high quality photographic resolution. The invention may utilize novel channeled directional substrates having controlled diffusion characteristics to preserve sharpness and fidelity of the resulting picture. The substrates may have lightwave limiting apertures capable of selectively passing various colors and polarizations of light, contain filtering elements, and have silver halide coupled or transported dyes located therein to interact with the opposite positive image forming layer. Monochrome and multicolor versions are described. The monochrome embodiment incorporates silver diffusion transfer reversal processes and the multicolor embodiment incorporates dye-coupled diffusion transfer processes. Sheet and rolls of material of various forms may be economically fabricated and rapidly processed in a monobath, via a roller wetter, a heated element, a wet belt, or by spray or vapor to produce a display-ready, high quality photographic print at low cost and with reduced waste.

I don't get any links on this post nor on your other site posting. Is it my end or yours? I'm excited to have the new information or product. Help!
I didn't put any links because I thought it would be long, and boring. The news here is that an all new instant photography material is being invented. It would be a single sheet, or a roll. It should be able to be cut to fit any camera - even a small one, or a very large one. It can be processed in-camera, on the spot, or later. There are no waste pieces or envelopes so it can fit into any holder, roll format, or sleeve. Most importantly, the negative is on one side, and the image forms on the other. A little like Instax, but not anywhere near as complex or costly. We are searching for ways to make the cost per square cm lower than it is today. All this adds fuel to the total value of post-digital photography. Innovation has not completely stopped in analog.
Sounds like a winner Bob. Just to be clear, this is a different film than the T55 type film you're currently working on ? Can work in any camera and can be cut to size ? All that = I WANT !!!

Yeah this is something different. Along the way we have been questioning why we can't have just one sheet of something make a positive, sort of like direct positive paper, except right reading. I think this is how to do it, and we will try to demonstrate it like we did with New55 FILM.
cool. so hypothetically speaking , and ideally, I could cut a sheet for my 8x10 and 7x17 and have at it ? makes me think of the 20x24 polaroid camera and the way film and paper is loaded into the camera. This is as exciting as the 55.
keep up the good work Bob (and crew)
Correct. It would be manufactured in a roll and then could be cut to any size within the width of the roll in the same way we do with film, but it should be a lot cheaper.
Please, please, please let this film come to fruition !!!

Congratulations on the application, Bob.
This is interesting IMHO because there's less material, less waste, and apparent easy of sizing.
Can't wait to see the tonality!
