Definitions

  • This invention relates to the heat-sensitive recording and more particularly, to a novel type of dye transfer sheet or medium for use in heat-sensitive recording. Also, it relates to a heat-sensitive recording apparatus which is adapted to make the best use of the dye transfer sheet of the just-mentioned type.
  • a dye transfer sheet for heat-sensitive recording which comprises a support and a layer of a sublimating basic dye formed on the support, whereby when heated in an imagewise pattern, the dye sublimates from from the dye layer and deposits on an image-receiving medium according to the imagewise pattern.
  • The- sublimating basic dyes are preferably aromatic tertiary amines.
  • a heat-sensitive recording apparatus which comprises a first heat source which is controlled according to an information signal of picture element, a platen placed in face-to-face relation with the first heat source and establishing a gap with the first heat source so as to permit a transfer sheet having a sublimating basic dye layer to be passed therebetween along with an image-receiving sheet whose image-receiving surface is in face-to-face relation with the basic dye layer of the transfer sheet, and a second heat source located downstream of the first heat source to fix an image formed on the image-receiving surface, whereby when the transfer sheet is heated according to the information signal, the dye moves by sublimation toward the image-rece-iving layer in portions where heated thereby forming an intended image on the image-receiving layer, and the intended image is fixed by application of heat from the second heat source.
  • the dye transfer sheet according to the present invention is characterized by a layer of a sublimating basic dye formed on a support.
  • a variety of basic dyes are known in the art and may be used in the practice of the invention provided that their melting point is not too high. Usually, basic dyes having about 100°C or below are used. Preferable basic dyes include aromatic tertiary amines.
  • basic dyes of the following general formulae (1) through (6) are used: in which R 1 and R 2 independently represent a hydrogen atom or a phenyl group with or without being substituted with a chlorine atom, R 3 represent a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, or an alkoxy group, R 4 and R 5 independently represent a lower alkyl group which is optionally substituted with a cyano group, a chlorine atom or a lower alkoxy group, or a benzyl group, or a phenyl group; in which R 6 and R 7 independently represent a lower alkyl group which is optionally substituted with a cyano group, a chlorine atom or a lower alkoxy group, or a benzyl group, or a phenyl group, X 1 and Y 1 independently represent a hydrogen atom, a chlorine atom, a methyl group, or a lower alkoxy group, and Y 2 represents a hydrogen atom, a chlorine atom, a chlorine
  • lower alkyl group. or “lower alkoxy group” means a group having not larger than 8 carbon atoms.
  • the dyes represented by the general formulae (1) and (2), (3) and (4), and (5) and (6) are yellow, magenta and cyan in color, respectively.
  • Typical and preferable examples of the dyes include the following dyes of the formulas (1) through (6).
  • dyes should preferably sublimate at temperatures below 100°C.
  • the dyes may be applied to a support by a variety of techniques. For instance, dyes may be sublimated or vacuum evaporated onto support, or solutions of dyes may be applied to support by casting or gravure printing.
  • Solvents for the dyes are, for example, chlorinated compounds such as chloroform, dichloromethane, dichloroethane, monochlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene and the like, and ethylene glycol compounds such as ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, methyl cellosolve, acetate, ethyl cellosolve acetate and the like.
  • the support should preferably be thin enough to efficiently transmit heat to an applied dye therethrough, e.g. its thickness is generally in the range of 5 to.20 microns.
  • Useful supports are condenser papers, electrolytic capacitor papers, porous thin papers, polymer films, metallic foils, metal-evaporated papers and the like. Dyes are applied to support generally in an amount of 10 to 10 g/m 2 .
  • additives such as stabilizers for dyes may be added to dyes.
  • resin binders having melting or softening temperatures over 100°C along with the dyes.
  • the basic dyes used in the practice of the invention have sublimation temperatures below 100°C. Accordingly, when resin binders whose softening or melting temperatures exceed 100°C are used in combination, unfavorable phenomena such as softening of binders, simultaneous transfer of binders with dyes, and troubles in sublimation of dyes will be suppressed even when high temperatures are applied at the time of recording.
  • Resin binders useful for the purposes are, for example, phenolic resins, melamine resins, urethane resins, epoxy resins, silicone resins, urea resins, diallyl phthalate resins, alkyd resins, acetal resins, methacrylic resins such as polymethyl methacrylate, polyesters, starch and its derivatives, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl acetals such as polyvinyl butyral, polyamides such as 6-nylon, 11-nylon, 12- nylon, 6,6-nylon, 6,10-nylon and the like, polyvinyl alcohol, polycarbonates, polysulfones, polyether sulfones, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyphenylene sulfides, polyethylene naphthalate, polyimides, polyamide-imides, AS resins, ABS resins, and the like.
  • polymers which are soluble in solvents such as acrylic resins, methacrylic resins, polystyrene, polyvinyl acetals, polyamides, polyvinyl alcohol, polycarbonates, polysulfones, polyether sulfones, polyphenylene oxides, cellulose derivatives and the like, are preferably used because of easy handling thereof.
  • binder resins may be applied to substrate after mixing with dyes, or may be applied in the form of a layer intervening between a support and a dye layer. Better results are obtained in the latter case.
  • Dye transfer sheets for heat-sensitive recording using binder resins can yield images of almost the same reflection density as dye transfer sheets free of binder resins. Presumably, this is considered as follows.
  • a binder resin-containing dye transfer sheet is more uniform than a resin- free sheet in distribution of sublimating dyes over substrate.
  • heat transmission also becomes more uniform because irregularities and fine pores on the surface of substrate are filled with binder resins applied.
  • heat from a heating unit of, for example, a thermal head of a recording apparatus is not-consumed as latent heat for melting or softening of resin binder, so that not only sublimation of dye is not impeded, but also heat transmission becomes better because of filling of fine pores in substrate.
  • dyes and binder resins in solvents are applied to support by casting or the like techniques.
  • dyes are mixed in an amount of from 10 to 1000 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of resin binder.
  • a resin binder layer is formed between a dye layer and a substrate
  • an intended resin is applied to the substrate, such as, for example, by lamination or baking, or by application of reactive monomer onto substrate and curing of the monomer.
  • dyes are applied by vacuum evaporation or sputtering.
  • the basic dye transfer sheet of the present invention has been described above.
  • This type of transfer sheet is particularly effective when used in combination with an image-receiving medium which comprises a layer of nonionic electron acceptor.
  • This type of medium can yield images which are resistant to environmental changes.
  • the electron acceptors useful for the purposes include halogenated polyethylenes such as polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, chlorinated polyethylene, poiyvinylidene fluoride, or the like, cyanated polyethylenes such as polyacrylonitrile, aromatic nitro compounds such as 2,4,7-trinitrofluorenone, aromatic nitrile compounds such as phthalodinitrile, 1,3,6,8-tetracyanopyrene, and the like, tetracyanoethylene, 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane derivatives, 11,11,12,12-tetracyanonaphthaquinodimethane derivatives, benzoquinone derivatives such as p-benzoquinone, p-fluoranyl, dichlorodicyanoquinone, and the like, aluminium halides such as aluminium fluoride, aluminium chloride, and the like, gallium halides, antimony halides, and the like.
  • polyvinylidene fluoride is considered to serve as an electron acceptor for the reason that the carbon positively polarizes as shown in the following formula
  • the image-receiving medium using electron acceptors produces better results when used in combination with basic dye transfer sheets of the present invention.
  • the resultant image is excellent in image transparency, uniform quality of image and stable in color reproduction, and has an enlarged range of color reproduction.
  • electron acceptors should be supported on substrate in the form of a thin layer, by which images of good quality can be obtained.
  • Electron acceptors can be formed on the surface of a substrate by vacuum evaporation, sputtering, casting or gravure printing. Needless to say, electron acceptors may be admixed with ordinarily employed additives or binders.
  • the recording principle is described using a basic dye transfer sheet of the invention.
  • a recording apparatus 1 including a thermal head 2 having a heating unit 3, and a platen 4.
  • a space S is established between the thermal head 2 and the platen 4 to permit a sublimating basic dye transfer sheet 5 and an image-receiving medium 6 to pass therethrough.
  • the sheet 5 and medium 6 are moved in the direction of arrow A.
  • the apparatus 1 further includes a pair of rollers 7 at least one of which is a heat roller for thermally fixing an image transferred on the image-receiving medium 6.
  • the basic dye transfer sheet 5 having a substrate 8 and a layer 9 of a sublimating basic dye with or without a binder formed on the substrate 8.
  • the basic dye may be applied to the substrate 8 as impregnated therein. In this case, the dye may not form a discrete layer on the substrate 8.
  • the basic dye layer 9 is heated in an imagewise pattern by.means of the heating unit 3 which is electrically controlled according to an information signal from a control circuit not shown.
  • the substrate is usually made of a thin sheet of about 5 to 20 microns in thickness.
  • condenser papers, electrolytic capacitor papers, porous thin papers, polymer films, metallic foils, metal-vaporized papers and the like are used as the thin substrate.
  • the image-receiving sheet 6 has a substrate 10 and an image-receiving layer 11.
  • the transfer sheet 5 and the image-receiving sheet 6 are set between the thermal head 2 and the platen 4 so that the dye layer 9 and the image-receiving layer 11 are facing each other.
  • the sheets 5 and 6 are separately moved by suitable drive means not shown.
  • the basic dye of the dye layer 9 is transferred to the image-receiving sheet 6 by sublimation or melting in an amount corresponding to an amount of heat generated from the heating unit 3.
  • the transferred dye diffuses into the image-receiving layer 11 where it reacts with an electron acceptor to form a color.
  • the sublimated or melted basic dye is attracted toward the image-receiving layer 11 by chemical reaction with the electron acceptor and diffuses into the image-receiving layer 11.
  • the dye moves toward the image-receiving layer not only by sublimation, but also by chemical reaction, so that it shows a greater tendency of sublimation than in the case where no chemical reaction is involved.
  • the transferred dye is not only deposited merely on the image-receiving sheet, but also chemically combined with the image-receiving layer. Thus, the once combined dye suffers little changes when placed under varying environmental conditions.
  • the image formed on the image-receiving layer is then heated by the paired rollers 7 to a temperature of 100 to 170°C for thermal fixation.
  • This thermal fixation assists the transferred dye to satisfactorily diffuse into the image-receiving layer.
  • the temperature of the thermal fixation depends on the type of dye and is generally in the range of 100 to 170°C. Lower temperatures are less effective whereas higher temperatures may result in discoloration of dye.
  • Fig. 2 schematically shows an enlarged sectional view of the transfer sheet 5 and the image-receiving layer 6.
  • the dye layer 9 is made of a sublimating basic dye 12 dispersed in a binder 13 and the image-receiving layer 11 is made of an electron acceptor 14 dispersed in a binder 15.
  • electron-acceptive polymers such as polyvinylidene chloride or polyvinylidene fluoride are used, they may also serve as a substrate 10.
  • the transfer sheet 5 has been illustrated hereinbefore as forming thereon the continuous basic dye layer 9.
  • the transfer sheet 5' includes the substrate 8 and basic dye layers 9a, 9b and 9c which are formed on the substrate in spaced relation with one another.
  • the basic dye layers 9a, 9b and 9c are made, for example, of cyan, magenta and yellow dyes, respectively.
  • a full color image can be obtained by superposing images from the basic dye layers 9a, 9b and 9c on a single image-receiving sheet according to an information signal. This is schematically shown in Fig. 4.
  • the dyes 9a, 9b and 9c transferred from the transfer sheet 5 by sublimation or melting diffuse into the image-receiving layer 11. These dyes 9a, 9b and 9c are mixed in molecular state in the image-receiving layer.
  • the mixing of the dyes in the molecular state has an advantage in that the resulting color is much brighter than a color obtained by superposition of dye layers as in color printing.
  • Fig. 5 there is shown another type of basic dye transfer sheet in which a polymer resin layer 16 is formed between the substrate 8 and the dye layer 9 as discussed before.
  • Fig. 6 shows a CIE chromaticity diagram of single and mixed colors obtained by the use of basic dye transfer sheets according to the present invention in comparison with those colors obtained from the ordinary color printing by an ordinary sublimation transfer printing technique. From the graph, it will be seen that the dye transfer technique of the present invention is comparable in color reproduction to ordinary color printing techniques.
