| A direct color thermal printer includes a heating element array for yellow, a heating element array for magenta, and a heating element array for cyan to perform the thermal printing on each of recording areas in color thermosensitive recording paper. When one of the heating element arrays, the heating element array for yellow, for instance, faces a blank area of the color thermosensitive recording paper, the heating element array for yellow starts a blank area recording to thermally print the blank area. Thereby, all of the heating element arrays constantly remain in a state of thermal printing, so that variations in recording density, which is caused by the load fluctuations in the power supply, does not occur. | ||||||

| An optical printer records a color image by exposing color instant photo film extending two-dimensionally in a main scan direction and a sub scan direction. The optical printer includes a printing head, which includes a white color light-emitting element and a color separation filter unit. The color separation filter unit is disposed in a light path of white-color light from the light-emitting element, for color separation of the white-color light.

| An optical printer head capable of minimizing production of a ghost by incidence of light reflected on a filter holding hole. Light emitted from a light source is reflected out of a maximum allowable incident angle to minimize generation of a ghost due to incidence of reflected light on a selfoc lens array while reducing a size of a filter holding hole for holding each of filters therein. Also, a peripheral surface of the filter holding hole may be rendered rough, to thereby provide a scattering surface, resulting in preventing repeated reflection of light emitted from the light source on the peripheral surface of the filter holding hole. | ||||||

| A color image recording apparatus operates in a color print mode and in a monochrome printing mode. A set of color print heads are driven in accordance with corresponding color image data. A monochrome print head is driven in accordance with black image data. A controller transmits in parallel or in serial the color image data and the black image data to the corresponding print heads in a color printing mode. The controller transmits the black image data faster in the monochrome printing mode than in the color printing mode, thereby increasing printing speed. The controller may include signal processing circuits such as compressing circuits and expanding circuit for the respective color image data and black image data. In the monochrome printing mode, the controller divides the black image data into a plurality of segments and supplies the segments in parallel to the signal processing circuits. The signal processing circuits process the segments and supply the processed data to the monochrome print head in a predetermined sequence, thereby increasing printing speed. | ||||||
| 55 | Color spatial light modulator and color printer using the same | US763662 | 1996-12-11 | US5933183A | 1999-08-03 | Jun Enomoto; Hiroaki Nakamura |
| A color spatial light modulator has red, green, and blue micromirror arrays juxtaposed in parallel. Each micromirror array has a number of micromirrors each formed with a filter for reflecting specific color light. As data "1" is written to a memory cell of an SRAM, the micromirror tilts by +.theta. and enters a valid reflection state in which spot light is utilized. As data "0" is written, the micromirror tilts by -.theta. and enters an invalid reflection state in which spot light is not utilized. A data write control circuit converts image data into mirror drive data and writes it to SRAM. Three-color parallel line light beams generated by the three-color micromirror arrays are projected by a projector lent onto color paper. A three-color image is printed line sequentially on the color paper. | ||||||

| At least two different printmasks are used for different printing devices--such as inkjet pens--that operate concurrently, or different printing steps that proceed concurrently, to produce respective image swaths in a single, pixel-based printing machine. In one form of the invention, the different printing devices produce different respective pixel-row pitches (related to resolution) on a printing medium, and the different printmasks help to minimize adverse patterning effects that result from interaction of the different pitches with dot-placement errors. The different pitches on the print medium may be provided through different pitches of marking devices (for example, the number of inkjet nozzles per unit distance along a pen) or in other ways. In another form of the invention the different printing devices are provided with different respective liquid-base colorants, to mark in different colors on a printing medium, and the different masks facilitate physical separation of the different colorants to promote drying. Earlier-applied colorants have more time to dry and penetrate before later adjacent or superposed application of other colorants. | ||||||

The through-holes each are provided therein with a ZnO:Zn phosphor. The substrate is provided on an outer surface thereof with color filters for the respective luminous blocks, to thereby take out primary colors. Light emitted from each of the luminous blocks is guided through each of the color filters and irradiated on the same position, resulting in desired color display being reproduced. | ||||||
