Description

図20に示される例において、記録媒体Ptは、DMD100の1つの画素配列方向(図中ミラー102a〜102cの配列方向)と一致する走査方向(図中矢印方向)に搬送されている。
図20(A)においては、DMD100のミラー102aがonで、他のミラー102はoffとなっており、ミラー102aで反射された光のみが記録媒体Ptに結像し、この位置(黒塗りの位置)に画像が記録される。
In the example shown in FIG. 20, the recording medium Pt is transported in the scanning direction (arrow direction in the drawing) which coincides with one pixel arrangement direction of the DMD 100 (arrangement direction of the mirrors 102a to 102c in the drawing).
In FIG. 20A, the mirror 102 a of the DMD 100 is on, and the other mirrors 102 are off, and only the light reflected by the mirror 102 a forms an image on the recording medium Pt. The image is recorded at the position).

これに対し、以上の説明より明らかなように、本発明によれば、DMD12等を利用する二次元配列光源を用いた画像記録において、コマF(二次元配列光源の投影光)を主副成分を含む方向にシフト(移動)すると共に、記録する画像に応じて二次元配列光源を変調することにより、いわゆる走査露光と同様の画像記録を行うことができる。
すなわち、本発明によれば、二次元配列光源の解像度によらず、目的とする解像度および画像に応じて、二次元配列光源の各画素を変調することで、ズームレンズ等を用いなくても、任意の解像度での画像記録を行うことができる。
従って、結像光学系の誤差、DMD12のピッチ誤差、温度/湿度などの変動による記録媒体Ptや機械部品の寸法誤差等を予め知見しておき、それによる解像度の誤差を加味して、例えば記録媒体Pt上におけるDMD12の各画素の結像位置を知見(算出)して、前述のように目的とする解像度の画像に応じて変調を行うことにより、解像度の誤差を生じない高画質な画像を得ることができる。さらにこのようなコマのシフトに応じた変調を、目的とする解像度の画像に応じて行うことにより、任意の解像度の画像を記録することができ、すなわち、解像度変換も容易に行うことができる。
In contrast, as is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, an image recording using the two-dimensional array light source utilizing DMD12 like, frame F (projection light of the two-dimensional array light source) of the main and sub-Car By shifting (moving) in the direction including the component and modulating the two-dimensional array light source according to the image to be recorded, it is possible to perform image recording similar to so-called scanning exposure.
That is, according to the present invention, even if a zoom lens or the like is not used by modulating each pixel of the two-dimensional array light source according to the target resolution and image regardless of the resolution of the two-dimensional array light source. Image recording can be performed at any resolution.
Therefore, for example, recording errors in resolution due to errors in the imaging optical system, pitch errors in the DMD 12, dimensional errors in the recording medium Pt and mechanical parts due to fluctuations in temperature / humidity, etc. By finding (calculating) the imaging position of each pixel of the DMD 12 on the medium Pt and performing modulation according to the image of the target resolution as described above, a high-quality image with no resolution error is obtained. You can get it. Further, by performing modulation according to such a shift of a frame according to an image of a target resolution, an image of any resolution can be recorded, that is, resolution conversion can be easily performed.

図17に、前述の図6〜図9等に示される画像記録における、記録媒体Pt上におけるDMD12の各画素(ミラー)の動きを概念的に示す。
前述のように、この例では、1コマの記録において、走査方向:走査方向=1画素:3画素でコマFをシフトして、9回の変調を均等に時分割して行うので、DMD12の各画素は矢印に示されるように移動し、例えば、点の位置で変調が行われる。
矢印で示す1画素の画素位置Pixに注目すると、この画素位置Pixでは、1コマの画像記録において、3つの画素(DMD12のミラー)が、副走査方向に均等の間隔で、主走査方向に対して端部から端部まで進行し、それぞれが、均等の間隔すなわち位相を揃えて3回変調される。すなわち、この例では、1コマの記録開始時における画素位置において、1画素につき、主×副走査方向で均等に3×3の9画素の画像を記録したことになり、従って、DMD12の解像度の9倍相当(一方向に3倍)の解像度の画像記録を行っている。本発明においては、これにより、前述のような歪曲収差の補正や、温度変動等による解像度誤差の補正を可能にしている。
FIG. 17 conceptually shows the movement of each pixel (mirror) of the DMD 12 on the recording medium Pt in the image recording shown in FIGS.
As described above, in this example, the recording of one frame, the sub-scanning direction: main scanning direction = one pixel: to shift the frame F at 3 pixels, are performed in time division evenly nine modulation, Each pixel of the DMD 12 moves as indicated by the arrow, and for example, modulation is performed at the position of a point.
Focusing on the pixel position Pix of one pixel indicated by an arrow, at this pixel position Pix, three pixels (mirrors of DMD 12) are equally spaced in the sub scanning direction with respect to the main scanning direction in image recording of one frame. Going from end to end, each is modulated three times with uniform spacing or phase. That is, in this example, at the pixel position at the start of recording of one frame, an image of 3 × 3 9 pixels is uniformly recorded per pixel in the main × sub-scanning direction. Image recording of resolution equivalent to 9 times (3 times in one direction) is performed. In the present invention, this makes it possible to correct distortion as described above and to correct resolution errors due to temperature fluctuations and the like.

ここで、主走査方向と光偏向器16の偏向方向とが成す角度をθ、光偏向器16の偏向速度をVgとすると、
「Vx’=Vg*sinθ」および「Vy’=Vg*cosθ」
従って、
tanθ=(Vx’/Vy’)
=[Vx−(ΔX/T)]/[Vy−(ΔY/T)]
=(Vx*T−ΔX)/(Vy*T−ΔY)
となる。すなわち、これを満たすように、光偏向器16の角度、主走査速度(ドラム22の回転速度)、副走査速度等を設定すれば、1コマの記録において、目的とする主副両成分を含むコマFのシフトを行うことができる。
Here, when an angle formed by the main scanning direction and the deflection direction of the light deflector 16 is θ, and the deflection speed of the light deflector 16 is Vg,
“Vx ′ = Vg * sinθ” and “Vy ′ = Vg * cosθ”
Therefore,
tan θ = (Vx '/ Vy')
= [Vx-([Delta] X / T)] / [Vy-([Delta] Y / T)]
= (Vx * T-ΔX) / (V y * T-ΔY)
It becomes. That is, if the angle of the light deflector 16, the main scanning speed (rotational speed of the drum 22), the sub scanning speed, etc. are set so as to satisfy this, the target main and sub components are included in one frame of recording. The frame F can be shifted.

ここで、前述のように、コマFのシフトの方向は、主/副走査方向に対して順方向であっても、逆方向であってもよい。従って、ΔXおよびΔYは、正/負の何れも取り得るものであり、すなわち、コマFのシフトの方向に応じて、
tanθ=(Vx*T±ΔX)/(Vy*T±ΔY)
を満たすように、光偏向器16の角度等を設定すればよい。
Here, as described above, the shift direction of the top F may be forward or reverse with respect to the main / sub scanning direction. Therefore, ΔX and ΔY can be either positive or negative, that is, depending on the direction of shift of the top F:
tan θ = (Vx * T ± ΔX) / (V y * T ± ΔY)
The angle of the light deflector 16 may be set so as to satisfy the following condition.

さらに、図示例においては、二次元配列光源の主副両成分を含む方向に二次元配列光源の投影光をシフトしているが、本発明はこれに限定はされず、主/副の一方向のみに投影光をシフトしてもよい。 Furthermore, in the illustrated example, the projection light of the two-dimensional array light source is shifted in the direction including the main and sub components of the two-dimensional array light source, but the present invention is not limited thereto. only to be to shift the projection light.
