The present paper discusses a fundamental new approach to creation of universal, multi-purpose devices capable of registering, storing, converting, and processing images - photoelectric structures with memory (PESM). Its essence is the development of integral multilayer solid-state structures, wherein optical information is registered and stored as a 2-D charge and potential pattern in the plane of the layers, and is transferred and converted in a perpendicular direction due to interaction of these patterns. Different layers of the structure are intended for performing different specific functions which makes it possible to design, modify, and optimize the PESM variants with reference to a wide range of specific problems so as to attain the most efficient functioning of the separate layers.
