Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase a response speed by providing electrodes for applying a horizontal electric field to liquid crystal at both sides of electrodes which constitute a light valve part. CONSTITUTION:A nematic liquid-crystal layer 11 of twist structure is sandwiched between a couple of substrates 10, and electrodes 13 and 14 constituting a light valve are provided on surfaces of the substrates which face the liquid-crystal layer; and electrodes 15-18 are provided on both sides of the electrodes 13 and 14, and a polarizing plate 12 is arranged on the external surface of a substrate 1. While no electric field is applied between the electrodes 13 and 14, an electric field is applied between the elctrodes 15, 16 and 17, 18 to apply the liquid-crystal layer 11 with the electric field horizontal, and thus a force for turning off liquid- crystal molecules is generated to increase the electric field, increasing a response speed. Consequently, the response speed is high enough for a printer which uses a liquid-crystal light valve array.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a twisted nematic mode liquid crystal light valve.An object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal light valve that responds at high speed and is inexpensive. As prices continue to fall due to advances in semiconductor technology, the layer that uses microcomputers, office computers, and the layer that comes in contact with computer printouts is replacing conventional EDs.
It is beginning to expand from being limited to specialized PS specialists to the general public. In other words, there is a growing desire for output processing at the same level as ordinary documents, that is, output using kanji and katana koji.One typical example is Japanese word processors. Probably.

However, as mentioned above, circuits and memory are becoming cheaper and cheaper, and while this type of system can be expected to continue in the future, the output terminal, the printer, is based on the premise of using kanji, etc. Then, since a resolution of about 52 x 32 dots is required, it is necessary to use p1, which is necessarily high resolution and has a high speed that can cope with the decrease in printing speed due to high resolution. This has led to an increase in costs.

is always shining. The liquid crystal two-item valve array 2 has a plurality of minute two-item valves 8, which are optically opened and closed independently by a liquid crystal drive circuit 9 to allow or prevent light from the light source 1 from passing through. The optical signal obtained in this way reaches the photosensitive section 3, but since the photosensitive section 3, which is made of a photosensitive material, has been charged in advance at the charging stage 6, the optical signal does not reach the photosensitive section 3. The electric charge disappears in the part. Therefore, a static signal is formed in response to a write signal from the outside.

As mentioned above, in the case of a printing device using liquid crystal light pulp, there is no need for a precise high-speed optical scanning system, which is required in the case of, for example, a laser printer. For this reason, it is expected that the structure will be simplified and above all, the price will be lowered.

As described above, liquid crystal light pulp is an important technology for the practical application of low-cost printing devices, but conventional liquid crystal light pulp has a fatal problem.

The problem was that the response speed was definitely slow. , a resolution of approximately 11° dots per millimeter is required, which means approximately 50 dots per second.
This means that the o-line printing speed, that is, the time required to write one line, is 2 milliseconds or less. However, such high-speed operation is not possible with conventional liquid crystal light pulp, ie, light pulp using TNW liquid crystal.

I would like to explain why the response speed of conventional liquid crystal light pulp is slow.

In other words, it becomes a light valve. This is T

There are electrodes 13 and 14 serving as a light valve on a part of the surface facing the liquid crystal layer. Up to this point, there is no difference from the conventional one, but the core of the present invention is that electrodes 15, 16° and 17.18 are provided on both sides of the vine electrodes 15 and 14. FIG. 4 is a sectional view, while FIG. 5 is a front view of the same.

The above response speed according to this embodiment is a speed that can also be used in a printing apparatus using the above-mentioned liquid crystal light valve array. Furthermore, it is possible to obtain a faster response speed by increasing the applied voltage. In this way, the present invention can increase the response speed (Tdecay) of the falling edge of a TN type liquid crystal light valve, which was previously impossible. It is expected to be applied to various devices including printing devices as a possible, high-speed, and inexpensive surface light pulp.
