置等の光変調装置に関し、特にスペクトル幅の狭いカラ
ー光を出力する分光特性のよい光変調装置に関する。Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a light modulation device such as a color light shutter device or a color image display device, and in particular to a light modulation device with good spectral characteristics that outputs color light with a narrow spectral width. Regarding equipment.
コンピューターの情報処理能力の向上に対応して、周辺
機器の機能向上が強く要求されている。In response to improvements in the information processing capabilities of computers, there is a strong demand for improvements in the functionality of peripheral devices.
たとえば、処理された情報を、印刷の形で人間に伝える
プリンターにおいては、より複雑な情報を的確、直感的
に表現するため、プリントのカラー化が要求されている
。For example, printers that transmit processed information to humans in the form of prints are required to print in color in order to accurately and intuitively express more complex information.

で独立に染色して形成している。As one of the methods to meet the above requirements, as shown in FIG. The intensity of the light from the light source 17 is controlled independently for red, green, and blue by a liquid crystal shutter cell 18 in which a plurality of liquid crystal pixels having a blue color filter B and a plurality of liquid crystal pixels for controlling blue color transmittance are arranged. A light shutter device has been proposed in which controlled light is imaged onto the surface of a photosensitive member 20 by an imaging optical system 19 to obtain a color print. Color filters are made by forming a thin film of gelatin on the glass substrate of the liquid crystal shutter cell, and then dyeing it independently with red, green, and blue dyes.

は緑色の領域にも光エネルギーを有する。However, the conventional method of color separation using gelatin color filters has the disadvantage that the color purity of the color print output is low and the range of colors that can be expressed is narrow. The transmission spectrum of the gelatin color filter has a wide transmission spectrum as shown in Figure 7 (transmission spectrum 21 of the color filter that transmits red, transmission spectrum 22 of the color filter that transmits green, and color filter that transmits blue). The transmission spectra 23 of the two have an overlapping portion.For example, light transmitted through a red color filter also has optical energy in the green region.
書き込み光の波長の重なり部分が、光書き込み時のクロ
ストークとなり、カラープリント出力の色純度が低下し
カラープリント出力の画像品質を著しく低下させる。The overlapping wavelength portion of the writing light causes crosstalk during optical writing, which reduces the color purity of the color print output and significantly reduces the image quality of the color print output.
この点を改良するため、ゼラチンカラーフィルターの代
わりに、光透過帯域がゼラチン方式より狭い干渉フィル
ターを用いる方法も考えられる。In order to improve this point, it is possible to use an interference filter whose light transmission band is narrower than that of the gelatin method instead of the gelatin color filter.
ところで、干渉フィルターは、薄膜を多数積層して形成

きない問題が生じる。By the way, interference filters are formed by laminating a large number of thin films, but since the center wavelength of the transmission spectrum is determined by the thickness of the thin films, when an interference filter is formed over a wide range such as in an optical shutter element or display element, Since the thickness of the multilayer thin film is uneven depending on the location, the center wavelength of the transmission spectrum differs depending on the location, and the color of the light that exposes the photosensitive material changes from location to location, causing the problem that color information cannot be written correctly onto the photosensitive material. occurs.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a light modulation device capable of optical writing to obtain a high-quality color print output with a wide print color range, and also capable of obtaining a display screen with high color purity over a full screen even in color display.

Pの表面に結像され、感光部材Pに光書き込みをする。Example 1 Figure 1 shows the configuration of a liquid crystal shutter head, which is an example of a light modulation device, based on the present invention. Wavelength selection is performed by sandwiching the light from a halogen lamp 1, which is a light source, between a birefringent plate and two polarizing plates. The light is selectively transmitted through the member 2 and guided to the light guide member B to form a linear light source.The liquid crystal shutter cell 4, which is a light modulation element,
The light from this linear light source is transmitted spectrally. That is, it has a gelatin color filter that selectively transmits red color,
It has a red liquid crystal pixel that controls the transmittance of red color, a gelatin color filter that selectively transmits green color, a green liquid crystal pixel that controls the transmittance of green color, and a gelatin color filter that selectively transmits blue color; Each color of light is controlled independently using blue liquid crystal pixels that control blue transmittance. The light emitted from the liquid crystal shutter cell 4 is imaged on the surface of the photosensitive member P by the imaging optical system 5, and optical writing is performed on the photosensitive member P.

する。In the wavelength selection member 2, a birefringent film was sandwiched between two polarizing plates whose polarization directions were orthogonal to each other, and the optical principal axis of the birefringent film and the axis of the polarizing plate were shifted by 45 degrees. Wavelength selection member 2
The axis of the polarizing plate disposed on the side of the liquid crystal shutter cell 4 is made to coincide with the axis of the polarizing plate disposed on the side of the wavelength selection member 2 of the liquid crystal shutter cell 40 to prevent loss of optical energy.

は色純度が高い。Birefringent film has (refractive index anisotropy x thickness) 3000
A film made of polycarbonate of 50 nm was used. Figure 2 shows the spectrum of light transmitted through a birefringent film sandwiched between two polarizing plates. Spectra 6R16G and 6B corresponding to red, green, and blue have a narrower wavelength band than the transmission spectrum of the gelatin color filter shown at 21, 22, and 26 in FIG. The light emitted from the liquid crystal shutter cell 4 is
This is the multiplication of the spectrum of the gelatin color filter and the spectrum of the wavelength selection member 2, and as shown in red 7, green 8, and blue 9 in Figure 3, the wavelength band is greater than that of the conventional device that selects wavelengths using only the gelatin color filter. is narrow and there is no overlap between the wavelengths of each color. Therefore, the crosstalk of the writing light is extremely small, and the printed image has high color purity.

7図のゼラチンフィルターの透過スペクトルと第5図の
干渉フィルターの透過スペクトルの積となる。Example 2 Another configuration of the wavelength selection member is shown in FIG. 4. The wavelength selection member 10 is formed by dividing an interference filter 11 that transmits red light, an interference filter 12 that transmits green light, and an interference filter 16 that transmits blue light on the same substrate. The interference filter has a structure in which SiO2 thin films and Ti2O3 thin films are alternately laminated. Transparent colors can be designed by changing the thickness of the thin film. The spectra of the light transmitted through the interference filters of each color are shown in FIG. 5 as red 14, green 15, and blue 16. If the wavelength selection member 10 of this embodiment is placed in place of the wavelength selection member 2 of FIG. 1, the spectrum of the light transmitted through each pixel of the liquid crystal shutter cell will be changed to is the product of the transmission spectrum of the interference filter shown in FIG.
ここで、干渉フィルターを透過した光に含まれるスペク
トル成分の波長帯域は、ゼラチンフィルターのみを透過
した光に含まれるスペクトルの波長帯域に比較してかな
り狭いので、両者を透過した光のスペクトルの波長帯域
は干渉フィルターの透過波長帯域でほぼ決定される。Here, the wavelength band of the spectral component included in the light that has passed through the interference filter is considerably narrower than the wavelength band of the spectrum included in the light that has passed only through the gelatin filter, so the wavelength band of the spectrum of the light that has passed through both The band is approximately determined by the transmission wavelength band of the interference filter.
このようにゼラチンカラーフィルターだけで波長を選択
した従来よりも各スペクトル成分の波長帯域が狭く各色
の波長の重なり部分が無いスペクトル構成の光が得られ
る。In this way, light with a spectral configuration in which the wavelength band of each spectral component is narrower and there is no overlap between the wavelengths of each color can be obtained than in the conventional method in which wavelengths are selected using only gelatin color filters.

部材の感度の波長特性を補正することができる。本実施
例では、青色の干渉フィルターが占める面積を最大に、
赤色の面積を最小に、緑色の面積が中間となるよう各色
の面積を設定した。By changing the ratio of the areas occupied by the interference filters of each color, it is possible to correct the wavelength characteristics of the emission energy of the halogen lamp and the wavelength characteristics of the sensitivity of the photosensitive member. In this example, the area occupied by the blue interference filter is maximized,
The area of each color was set so that the area of red was the minimum and the area of green was in the middle.
なお、本発明の波長選択部材を用いる構成は、感光部材
への光書き込みをする光変調装置の他に、デイスプレー
パネルとしての光変調器にも有効である。Note that the configuration using the wavelength selection member of the present invention is effective not only for a light modulator for optically writing onto a photosensitive member but also for a light modulator as a display panel.

Because there is no crosstalk between writing light or display light, it is possible to obtain high-quality color prints or display outputs with high color purity and a wide print color range.
