Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus and a method for generating a multicolor image from data of a digital image on a photosensitive material, according to the features in the preambles of claims 1 and 22.
  • the arrangement of the exit ends of the optical fibers is imaged by a lens system of the exposure head on the surface of the photographic paper, so that a plurality of pixels can be exposed simultaneously.
  • the exposure head is moved across the photo paper so that at the same time a plurality of parts of pixels can be created during such movement.
  • the photographic paper is then advanced by a length corresponding to the number of lines first produced, whereupon a further sequence of lines of pixels, through which the exposure head moving above the paper is transferred to the photographic paper.
  • the effect is corrected which is that the exposure effect having a first exposure intensity and a first exposure time is not equal to the exposure effect achieved, for example, by half the first exposure intensity over a period of twice the first exposure time.
  • This effect is also called reciprocity failure.
  • other corrections are required at the edges between two strips consisting of adjacent pixel lines, which are generated by the exposure head, than is the case with pixel lines in the interior of a strip is. To avoid banding and thus impairing the image quality.
  • each channel consisting of light rays which propagate through successive total total reflections at the interface between the core and cladding in the fiber and as a function of their angle are arranged to the fiber axis such that they are located for each channel at each point in the fiber between two cones whose common vertex is formed by this point and which are rotationally symmetrical about a common axis parallel to the fiber axis.

This is symbolically indicated by exposure curves 60 of the exposure strips 52 and exposure curves 61 of the exposure strips 56, respectively. It is easy to see that in areas where exposure strips 52 and exposure strips 56 overlap one another, the exposure curves 60, 61 overlap, resulting in an overall exposure curve with approximately constant progression and no abrupt changes.

  21. Dispositif selon l'une des revendications précédentes, caractérisé en ce que le masque (47) est formé par une plaquette de verre munie d'un revêtement.
  22. Procédé de production d'une image en plusieurs couleurs à partir de données d'une image numérique (3) sur un matériau photosensible (2), dans lequel, par une installation de transport (4), le matériau (2) est déplacé dans une direction d'avancement (5) et, par une tête d'exposition (8), qui est déplaçable alternativement dans une direction (11, 12) orientée perpendiculairement à la direction d'avancement (5) sur le matériau (2) et présente plusieurs extrémités de sortie (46) de fibres optiques (18), des points d'image (62, 63) sont produits sur le matériau (2), où la lumière d'une première source de lumière (14), la lumière d'une deuxième source de lumière (15) et la lumière d'une troisième source de lumière (16) est guidée par une seule fibre optique (18), où la couleur de la lumière de la première source de lumière (14), la couleur de la lumière de la deuxième source de lumière (15) et la couleur de la lumière de la troisième source de lumière (16) forme un triple de couleurs de base complémentaires, caractérisé en ce qu'est disposé dans la tête d'exposition (8) entre les extrémités de sortie (46) des fibres optiques (18) et un système de lentilles (45) pour la représentation des extrémités de sortie (46) des fibres optiques (18) sur le matériau (2), un masque (47) avec des ouvertures (48).
  23.

  24. Procédé selon l'une des revendications 22 à 23, caractérisé en ce que pendant un premier mouvement de la tête d'exposition (8), il est produit parmi les lignes à produire de l'image numérique (3) seulement chaque deuxième ligne (50) et ensuite le matériau (2) est déplacé plus loin dans la direction d'avancement (5) et, pendant un deuxième déplacement de la tête d'exposition (8), des lignes intermédiaires (53) sont produites.
  25. Procédé selon la revendication 22 ou 24, caractérisé en ce que les ouvertures (48) sont réalisées perpendiculairement à la direction (11, 12) du déplacement de la tête d'exposition (8) en une hauteur (55) dont la valeur est plus grande que l'écart de lignes z(54), et des bandes d'exposition (52) de lignes (50) et des bandes d'exposition (56) de lignes intermédiaires (53) sont produites, où les bandes d'exposition (52, 53) de lignes (50) et lignes intermédiaires (53) qui se font suite se chevauchent partiellement.
  26. Procédé selon la revendication 25, caractérisé en ce qu'avant la production des lignes intermédiaires (53), des données d'image corrigées pour les lignes intermédiaires (53) sont calculées, en ce que l'effet d'exposition modifié de la deuxième opération d'exposition, qui suit selon l'écart d'un intervalle de temps à la première opération d'exposition, est compensé pour chacun des points d'image (62) des lignes intermédiaires (53), où la compensation a lieu par une modification de l'intensité et/ou par une modification de la durée d'impulsion selon une valeur qui est proportionnelle au logarithme à partir du rapport de l'intervalle de temps et d'un intervalle de temps de référence (valeur - log (intervalle de temps/intervalle de temps de référence)).
  27. Procédé selon la revendication 26, caractérisé en ce que des expositions test sont exécutées et que sont déterminées à partir de celles-ci, l'intervalle de temps de référence et un facteur de proportionnalité pour la valeur de la modification de l'intensité et/ou un facteur de proportionnalité pour la valeur de la modification de la durée d'impulsion pour le matériau photosensible spécifique (2).
  28. Procédé selon l'une des revendications 22 à 27, caractérisé en ce que les sources de lumière (14, 15, 16) sont formées par des diodes luminescentes (LED).
  29. Procédé selon la revendication 28, caractérisé en ce que sont déterminées avec une cellule de mesure (25) les intensités de lumière de la tête d'exposition (8) pour différents courants de commande des LED ainsi que des paramètres de correction pour la compensation des non-linéarités des LED.
