The print head carriage 20 having the ink jet recording heads 12, 14, 16, 18 is controlled in the main scanning direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the cross rail 10 by the control of the head carriage driving portion. Move. When the print head carriage 20 moves in the main scanning direction, the ink is ejected from the nozzles of the recording heads 12 to 18, so that the print data sent from the computer 4 to the controller of the inkjet printer 2 is stored in the control. The software of the device is printed and printed on the printing surface 6b of the light guide plate 6. Furthermore, the printing in the text is synonymous with printing.

於電腦4之記憶裝置中,存儲有控制噴墨印表機2之控制器而用以進行列印之印刷程式。於平台8上,橫軌10係配置為可於副掃描方向平行移動,且打印頭托架20可於主掃描方向上自由移動地與該橫軌10連結。如圖3所示,於該打印頭托架20中保持有複數個噴墨記錄頭12、14、 16、18。 In the memory device of the computer 4, a printing program for controlling the printing of the ink jet printer 2 for printing is stored. On the platform 8, the cross rail 10 is configured to be movable in parallel in the sub-scanning direction, and the print head carriage 20 is movably coupled to the cross rail 10 in the main scanning direction. As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of ink jet recording heads 12, 14 are held in the print head carriage 20. 16, 18.

各記錄頭12、14、16、18具備多個噴出油墨之噴嘴。如圖3所示,各頭12、14、16、18係經由導管等油墨供給機構分別與配設於印表機2機體之具備墨盒之白墨供給部A、B、C、D所對應之墨盒22、24、26、28連通。沿著橫軌10之主掃描方向,複數個記錄頭12、14、16、18以彼此之列印區域重合之方式並排配置。 Each of the recording heads 12, 14, 16, and 18 is provided with a plurality of nozzles for ejecting ink. As shown in FIG. 3, each of the heads 12, 14, 16, and 18 is respectively connected to an ink cartridge corresponding to the white ink supply portions A, B, C, and D of the ink cartridge provided in the body of the printer 2 via an ink supply mechanism such as a catheter. 22, 24, 26, 28 are connected. Along the main scanning direction of the cross rail 10, a plurality of recording heads 12, 14, 16, 18 are arranged side by side in such a manner that the printing areas of each other coincide.

於電腦4之記憶裝置中,存儲有製作光反射圖案之列印資料用之軟體(列印程式),並且設置有油墨資料表30。該資料表30係為了實現藉由使備齊有複數種之白墨A、B、C、D單個或組合地對導光板6進行列印即可製作多種色溫之導光板,而預先設定色溫與油墨A、B、C、D之組合者,且藉由使用該資料表30,可簡單地製作多種色溫之導光板。 In the memory device of the computer 4, a software (printing program) for printing a material for producing a light reflection pattern is stored, and an ink data table 30 is provided. The data sheet 30 is used to prepare a light guide plate of a plurality of color temperatures by printing a plurality of white inks A, B, C, and D in a single or combined manner, thereby setting a color temperature and ink in advance. A combination of A, B, C, and D, and by using the data sheet 30, a light guide plate of a plurality of color temperatures can be easily produced.

於表1中,白墨A、B係根據氧化鈦之粒徑,而顯示油墨色溫不同之2種油墨,白墨C表示其中之氧化鈦之含量與白墨A不同之白墨,白墨D表示其中之氧化鈦之含量與白墨B不同之白墨。於本實施形態中,關於氧化鈦之粒徑與含量準備複數種白墨,藉此可簡單地進行複數種色溫下之列印、或將該等組合之列印。於實驗中確認:白墨中氧化鈦之含量較理想為10%以下,藉由降低氧化鈦之含量,可使導光板發光面之細微的漸層亮度變化變得易於控制。 In Table 1, white inks A and B show two kinds of inks having different ink color temperatures according to the particle diameter of titanium oxide, and white ink C indicates white ink in which the content of titanium oxide is different from that of white ink A, and white ink D indicates titanium oxide therein. White ink with a different content than white ink B. In the present embodiment, a plurality of kinds of white inks are prepared for the particle diameter and content of titanium oxide, whereby printing at a plurality of color temperatures or printing of the combinations can be easily performed. It was confirmed in the experiment that the content of the titanium oxide in the white ink is preferably 10% or less, and by reducing the content of the titanium oxide, the slight gradient change of the light-emitting surface of the light guide plate can be easily controlled.

【表1】 【Table 1】

存儲於電腦4中之控制列印用之印刷程式係以可進行油墨資料表30之製作、修正等而構成。所製成之導光板6係於透明之丙烯酸系板等導光板之印刷面6b之平面部分列印反射點、或反射漸層(如磨砂玻璃之細小之點)而成者,且如圖4~圖6所示,藉由在矩形之導光板6上部之邊緣部32之厚度部分配置由冷陰極管或LED等發光體所構成之光源40,而使發光面6a之平面整體為可見其發光者。 The printing program for control printing stored in the computer 4 is configured to be capable of producing, correcting, and the like of the ink data sheet 30. The light guide plate 6 is formed by printing a reflection point on a plane portion of the printing surface 6b of a light guide plate such as a transparent acrylic plate, or reflecting a gradient layer (such as a small point of frosted glass), and as shown in FIG. 4 As shown in Fig. 6, by arranging a light source 40 composed of a luminescent material such as a cold cathode tube or an LED at a thickness portion of the edge portion 32 of the upper portion of the rectangular light guide plate 6, the entire surface of the light-emitting surface 6a is visible. By.

自光源40射出至導光板6之光係自導光板6之邊緣部32進入內部,如箭頭所示,於內部反射並擴散至導光板6整體。光存在向上逸散、或穿過油墨42、自反射板44返回、於導光板6之邊緣部34、36、38反射等情況,而擴散至導光板6整體。於使用含有氧化鈦之油墨時,根據油墨中氧化鈦粒徑之分佈,準備色溫不同之白墨,若變更粒徑分佈之偏差,則反射光會出現差別而使色溫出現差別。其係因油墨中氧化鈦之粒徑不同,故而於印刷後散射之光強度會視光之波長而不同,結果經印刷之導光板之散射光之色溫不同。 The light emitted from the light source 40 to the light guide plate 6 enters the inside from the edge portion 32 of the light guide plate 6, and is internally reflected and diffused to the entire light guide plate 6 as indicated by the arrow. The light is scattered upward, or passes through the ink 42, returns from the reflection plate 44, is reflected by the edge portions 34, 36, 38 of the light guide plate 6, and the like, and diffuses to the entire light guide plate 6. When an ink containing titanium oxide is used, white ink having a different color temperature is prepared according to the distribution of the particle diameter of the titanium oxide in the ink. When the variation in the particle size distribution is changed, the reflected light is different and the color temperature is different. Since the particle diameter of titanium oxide in the ink is different, the intensity of light scattered after printing differs depending on the wavelength of light, and as a result, the color temperature of the scattered light of the printed light guide plate is different.

[關於白墨與色溫] [About white ink and color temperature]

白墨係將氧化鈦作為油墨之顏料。氧化鈦之粒子具有能最強 烈地反射2倍粒徑之波長光的性質,作為白墨較理想的氧化鈦粒徑之分佈如圖14所示,均勻地存在於200nm-400nm。於該情形時,為均勻地反射粒徑200nm-400nm之2倍的波長光即400nm-800nm(可見光)之白色。 White ink uses titanium oxide as a pigment for inks. Titanium oxide particles have the strongest energy The property of the wavelength light of 2 times the particle diameter is strongly reflected, and the distribution of the particle diameter of the titanium oxide which is preferable as the white ink is uniformly present in the range of 200 nm to 400 nm as shown in FIG. 14 . In this case, it is a white light having a wavelength of twice from 200 nm to 400 nm, that is, 400 nm to 800 nm (visible light).

然而於實際之白墨中,粒徑之分佈均勻地存在於200nm-400nm的情況較為罕見, However, in the actual white ink, it is rare that the distribution of the particle diameter uniformly exists at 200 nm to 400 nm.

(1)當粒徑大量存在於200nm時(參照圖15),為強烈反射400nm之光(短波長)之白墨、色溫高且帶有藍色之白色油墨。 (1) When the particle diameter is present in a large amount at 200 nm (refer to Fig. 15), it is a white ink which strongly reflects light of 400 nm (short wavelength), a white ink having a high color temperature and a blue color.

(2)當粒徑大量存在於400nm時(參照圖16),為強烈反射800nm之光(長波長)之白墨、色溫低且帶有紅色、或黃色、綠色之白墨。 (2) When the particle diameter is present in a large amount at 400 nm (refer to Fig. 16), it is a white ink that strongly reflects light of 800 nm (long wavelength), a white ink having a low color temperature and having red, or yellow, and green.

於色溫之調整中,藉由該等色溫不同(氧化鈦之分佈不同)的白墨之組合,而製作所期望之色溫=所期望之氧化鈦分佈=所期望之光波長區域的導光板。然而,當難以僅由氧化鈦之粒徑來調整色溫之情形時,藉由添加其他粒子、銅酞青等有時亦可獲得所期望之光波長區域。 In the adjustment of the color temperature, a combination of the white inks having different color temperatures (different distributions of titanium oxide) is used to produce a light guide plate having a desired color temperature = a desired titanium oxide distribution = a desired light wavelength region. However, when it is difficult to adjust the color temperature only by the particle diameter of titanium oxide, a desired light wavelength region can be obtained by adding other particles, copper indigo or the like.

圖14~圖16係油墨中氧化鈦之粒徑分佈形象圖,橫軸表示粒徑,縱軸表示分佈之程度。圖14表示理想之白墨中氧化鈦粒子之分佈,圖15~圖16表示實際之白墨中氧化鈦粒子之分佈。 14 to 16 are image diagrams showing the particle size distribution of titanium oxide in the ink, in which the horizontal axis represents the particle diameter and the vertical axis represents the degree of distribution. Fig. 14 shows the distribution of titanium oxide particles in an ideal white ink, and Figs. 15 to 16 show the distribution of titanium oxide particles in an actual white ink.

於本實施形態所使用之油墨中,添加有微量之銅酞青。該添加之量藉由於實驗中選擇適量而獲得使油墨色溫之控制變得容易的結果。對導光板6列印時,操作者藉由滑鼠等點選顯示於電腦4之顯示器46的油墨選擇按鈕48,由此可進行白墨A、B、C、D之選擇,又,藉由操作混合按鈕50,可使白墨以混合成所期望之組合的方式而構成。又,亦可指定複數個A與B、A與C等之油墨,且亦可藉由與所製成之列印資料之對應關 係,指定於哪個列印部分使用哪種油墨。 A trace amount of copper indigo was added to the ink used in the present embodiment. The amount of this addition was obtained as a result of facilitating the control of the color temperature of the ink by selecting an appropriate amount in the experiment. When the light guide plate 6 is printed, the operator selects the ink selection button 48 displayed on the display 46 of the computer 4 by a mouse or the like, thereby selecting the white inks A, B, C, and D, and by operating. By mixing the buttons 50, the white inks can be configured to be mixed into a desired combination. In addition, a plurality of inks of A, B, A, and C may be specified, and may also correspond to the printed materials produced by the printing. System, which ink is specified for which print portion.

圖9係表示使用用以製作導光板之反射圖案的列印資料製作軟體於電腦上製作之反射面用列印資料56。與導光板之矩形形狀相應地於矩形區域內生成之列印資料56,其以列印濃度(密度)朝向設定於該矩形區域內之高濃度設定點而變濃之方式形成。由於係導光板之反射圖案之列印,故而為進行對整體之列印者,且顯示有其中之列印濃度的漸層方向。再者,圖9僅為一例,形狀等並不特別限定於此。圖18中使列印資料66之列印濃度(列印密度)之具體形象立體化,且圖中,符號P表示高濃度設定點。該高濃度設定點表示最高濃度部分,於本實施形態中高濃度設定點僅為一點,但並不特別限定於一點,亦可如圖9中朝四方具有某程度之擴展(空間)。再者,於圖18中,數字1表示光源方向,數字1~7表示將列印資料56之光源側邊緣部60及與其相對之相反側之邊緣部62間7等分。又,S1、S3、S5表示左右之邊緣部64、66間之刻度。於矩形區域內之下部中央附近設定有高濃度設定點P,使列印密度較濃之部分集中於該點之原因在於:距光源之部分越遠越需要提高反射率等,但關於其他周圍部分亦存在受到自端部返回之反射影響的部分(參照圖6),故而亦可考慮到該部分而製作列印圖案之資料。 Fig. 9 is a view showing a printing material 56 for a reflecting surface which is produced on a computer by using a printing material for producing a reflective pattern of a light guiding plate. The printed material 56 is formed in a rectangular area corresponding to the rectangular shape of the light guide plate, and is formed in such a manner that the printing density (density) is increased toward a high concentration set point set in the rectangular area. Since the reflection pattern of the light guide plate is printed, the printout is performed on the whole, and the gradient direction of the print density therein is displayed. In addition, FIG. 9 is only an example, and a shape etc. are not specifically limited to this. In Fig. 18, a specific image of the print density (printing density) of the print material 66 is stereoscopically formed, and in the figure, the symbol P indicates a high density set point. The high-concentration set point indicates the highest concentration portion. In the present embodiment, the high-concentration set point is only one point, but is not particularly limited to one point, and may have a certain degree of expansion (space) toward the square as shown in FIG. Further, in Fig. 18, numeral 1 indicates the direction of the light source, and numerals 1 to 7 indicate that the light source side edge portion 60 of the printed material 56 and the edge portion 62 opposite thereto are equally divided into seven. Further, S1, S3, and S5 indicate scales between the left and right edge portions 64 and 66. A high-density set point P is set in the vicinity of the center of the lower portion in the rectangular region, and the portion where the printing density is concentrated is concentrated at the point because the farther away from the portion of the light source, the higher the reflectance, etc., but other surrounding portions are required. There is also a portion that is affected by the reflection from the return of the end portion (see Fig. 6). Therefore, the material of the printed pattern can also be produced in consideration of the portion.

列印資料56係藉由漸層圖案而製作。此處所謂漸層係指藉由列印資料製作軟體之漸層圖案生成模式所形成之列印濃度變化圖案。於漸層圖案之作圖中,列印密度可於0%至100%之間變化。圖10係漸層圖案圖中之濃度之說明圖,於圖10中分別為(A)表示0%之濃度,(B)表示25%之濃度,(C)表示50%之濃度,(D)表示75%之濃度,(E)表示100% 之濃度。再者,圖10係僅簡略地進行說明,於實際之列印中由於係在多個點處進行列印,故藉由印表機之解像度而對列印之位置進行指定,並且於該範圍內可進行0~100%等任意範圍之列印。 The printed material 56 is produced by a gradient pattern. Here, the gradient layer refers to a print density change pattern formed by a gradient pattern generation mode of a software for printing a material. In the pattern of the gradation pattern, the printing density can vary from 0% to 100%. Fig. 10 is an explanatory diagram of the concentration in the gradient pattern diagram, in which Fig. 10 shows (A) indicating a concentration of 0%, (B) indicating a concentration of 25%, and (C) indicating a concentration of 50%, (D). Indicates 75% concentration, (E) means 100% Concentration. Furthermore, FIG. 10 is only briefly described. In the actual printing, since the printing is performed at a plurality of points, the position of the printing is specified by the resolution of the printer, and the range is specified. It can print in any range from 0 to 100%.

於列印資料56中,第1濃度變化部係自列印資料56之光源配置側邊緣部60起相對於設定在列印區域內之高濃度設定點,使列印濃度從較淡之狀態以形成漸層圖案之方式變化成最濃之狀態而形成。箭頭a表示於第1濃度變化部中,濃度從較淡之狀態朝向箭頭之方向即高濃度設定點而變濃之情況。 In the print data 56, the first density change portion is set from the light source arrangement side edge portion 60 of the print material 56 to the high density set point set in the print region, so that the print density is from a lighter state. The manner in which the gradation pattern is formed is changed to the most concentrated state. The arrow a indicates a case where the concentration is increased from a lighter state toward a direction of an arrow, that is, a high concentration set point, in the first concentration change portion.

第2濃度變化部係自光源配置側邊緣部60之相反側邊緣部62起以較短之範圍朝向列印區域之高濃度設定點,使列印濃度從較淡之狀態以形成漸層之方式變化至最濃之狀態而形成。 The second concentration change portion is a high-concentration set point from the opposite side edge portion 62 of the light source arrangement side edge portion 60 toward the print region in a shorter range, so that the print density is from a lighter state to form a gradation. It is formed by changing to the most concentrated state.

箭頭b表示於第2濃度變化部中,濃度從較淡之狀態朝向箭頭之方向即高濃度設定點而變濃之情況。亦自左右兩側之邊緣部64、66起以較短之範圍朝向列印區域之高濃度設定點,使列印濃度從較淡之狀態平緩地以形成漸層圖案之方式變化至最濃之狀態,而形成第3濃度變化部與第4濃度變化部。箭頭c表示於第3濃度變化部中,濃度從較淡之狀態沿箭頭之方向變濃之情況,箭頭d表示於第4濃度變化部中,濃度從較淡之狀態沿箭頭之方向變濃之情況。 The arrow b indicates a case where the concentration is increased from a lighter state toward a direction of an arrow, that is, a high concentration set point, in the second concentration change portion. Also, from the edge portions 64 and 66 of the left and right sides, the high concentration set point toward the printing area in a shorter range is used, so that the printing density changes from the lighter state to the gradual pattern to the thickest. In the state, the third concentration changing unit and the fourth concentration changing unit are formed. The arrow c indicates that the concentration is thicker in the direction of the arrow from the lighter state in the third concentration changing portion, and the arrow d indicates that the concentration is thicker in the direction of the arrow from the lighter state in the fourth concentration changing portion. Happening.

列印資料56係參照預先製作之導光板之理想亮度分佈圖案圖所設計。圖17係表示點密度與亮度之關聯之曲線圖,圖中,X表示光源方向,各橫軸表示距光源之距離。若高濃度設定點處於左右邊緣部間之大致中央且將光源配置側邊緣部60與其相反側之邊緣部62之間之距離設為 1,則上述高濃度設定點設定在距邊緣部60之距離超過1/2且未滿1之任意位置(即邊緣部62之前方),當在本實施形態中分為7等分之情形時於距邊緣部60有6/7左右之位置出現高濃度部分之峰值,但該位置視所使用之導光板之材質、厚度、油墨之種類、光源之亮度等時前時後。例如於導光板之厚度變薄之情形時,會出現距邊緣部62為1/4、1/3等而越靠近中央附近越佳之結果。又,列印濃度變化之大小亦可視條件而變更。此次係使列印濃度朝向高濃度部分之前端部分即高濃度設定點P而變化,但該部分未必如圖18所示為前端狀態,亦可為朝向某固定水準以上之平坦之區域而變化。 The printed material 56 is designed with reference to the ideal brightness distribution pattern of the previously prepared light guide plate. Fig. 17 is a graph showing the relationship between dot density and luminance, in which X represents the direction of the light source, and each horizontal axis represents the distance from the light source. If the high concentration set point is at substantially the center between the left and right edge portions and the distance between the light source arrangement side edge portion 60 and the edge portion 62 on the opposite side thereof is set to 1. The high-concentration set point is set at any position that is more than 1/2 from the edge portion 60 and is less than 1 (that is, in front of the edge portion 62), and is divided into seven equal parts in the present embodiment. The peak of the high concentration portion appears at a position of about 6/7 from the edge portion 60, but the position depends on the material, the thickness of the light guide plate, the type of the ink, the brightness of the light source, and the like. For example, when the thickness of the light guide plate is thin, 1/4, 1/3, etc. from the edge portion 62 may occur, and the closer to the vicinity of the center, the better. Further, the magnitude of the change in the printing density can also be changed depending on the conditions. This time, the printing density is changed toward the high-concentration set point P at the front end portion of the high-concentration portion, but the portion is not necessarily the front end state as shown in FIG. 18, and may be changed toward a flat region above a certain fixed level. .

再者,當進行在上下邊緣部60、62配置光源之列印時,若高濃度設定點處於左右邊緣部間之大致中央且將邊緣部60與其相反側之邊緣部62之間之距離設為1,則較理想為設定成距邊緣部62大致1/2之距離。理想亮度分佈圖案圖之亮度係藉由色彩(顏色)而顯示。圖12表示本實施形態中導光板之亮度分佈圖案圖,其與成為基準之理想亮度分佈圖案圖大體一致。 Further, when the printing of the light source is performed on the upper and lower edge portions 60 and 62, the high concentration set point is substantially at the center between the left and right edge portions, and the distance between the edge portion 60 and the edge portion 62 on the opposite side is set to 1, it is preferable to set the distance to the edge portion 62 by about 1/2. The brightness of an ideal brightness distribution pattern is displayed by color (color). Fig. 12 is a view showing a luminance distribution pattern of the light guide plate in the embodiment, which is substantially identical to the ideal luminance distribution pattern as a reference.

導光板6之發光面6a之區域a係亮度1000~1500(以下皆為單位:燭光(candela)/平方米),區域b係亮度1500~2500,區域c係亮度2500~3500,區域d係3500~4000,區域e係亮度4500~。 The area a of the light-emitting surface 6a of the light guide plate 6 is 1000 to 1500 (the following units are: candela/square meter), the area b is 1500 to 2500, the area c is 2500 to 3500, and the area d is 3500. ~4000, the area e is 4500~.

【表2】 【Table 2】

若將圖12所示之具備理想亮度分佈圖案之導光板6,用於如圖7所示之具備稜鏡薄片(prism sheet)68、擴散板70、及反射板44之液晶電視或液晶螢幕等液晶顯示裝置中,則可獲得中心之亮度高、端部之亮度稍低之適於人類視覺之最佳面發光裝置。於將利用軟體而製成之反射用列印資料56列印於導光板6時,操作者選擇所使用之油墨種類或油墨混合條件,將其等輸入至電腦4並點擊印刷按鈕。 The light guide plate 6 having the ideal brightness distribution pattern shown in FIG. 12 is used for a liquid crystal television or a liquid crystal screen including a prism sheet 68, a diffusion plate 70, and a reflection plate 44 as shown in FIG. In the liquid crystal display device, an optimum surface light-emitting device suitable for human vision with high luminance at the center and a slightly low luminance at the end portion can be obtained. When the reflective print material 56 made of the soft body is printed on the light guide plate 6, the operator selects the type of ink to be used or the ink mixing condition, inputs it to the computer 4, and clicks the print button.

藉此列印資料自電腦4輸送至印表機2,其後,於印表機2進行資料之處理,之後以橫軌10設定為副掃描方向之列印寬度單元進行搬送,打印頭托架20於主掃描方向上得到驅動而由所選擇之列印條件之白墨對導光板6執行列印。於本實施形態中,如圖13所示墨點54之厚度H設定為0.5μm,與網版印刷(100μm左右)相比非常薄。 Thereby, the printed data is sent from the computer 4 to the printer 2, and thereafter, the data is processed by the printer 2, and then the print width bracket is set by the cross rail 10 as the sub-scanning direction, and the print head carriage is transported. 20 is driven in the main scanning direction to perform printing on the light guide plate 6 by the white ink of the selected printing condition. In the present embodiment, the thickness H of the ink dot 54 as shown in Fig. 13 is set to 0.5 μm, which is very thin compared to screen printing (about 100 μm).

由此,藉由自白墨之點反射之光與透過該油墨而自反射板44反射之光的相乘效果可獲得較先前明亮之導光板6。列印所使用之白墨係為了易於利用細微之漸層列印來控制亮度而調整氧化鈦之含量。藉由變更氧化鈦之含量,反射之量相應地得以變更故而可因應細小之變化,藉此 可易於控制光之反射量或散射量。 Thereby, the light guide plate 6 which is brighter than the previous one can be obtained by the multiplication effect of the light reflected from the point of the white ink and the light reflected from the reflection plate 44 through the ink. The white ink used for printing adjusts the content of titanium oxide in order to facilitate the use of fine gradient printing to control the brightness. By changing the content of titanium oxide, the amount of reflection is changed accordingly, so that it can be changed in response to small changes. The amount of reflection or amount of light can be easily controlled.

為了進行細微之該等控制較理想的是白墨之氧化鈦含量為10%以下,又,於本案中為了進行更加細緻之控制亦準備1%左右含量之白墨,藉由單個白墨或組合複數種白墨之使用而實現以細微之漸層來控制列印之亮度。 In order to perform such fine control, it is preferable that the content of the titanium oxide of the white ink is 10% or less. Further, in the present case, a white ink of about 1% is prepared for finer control, by a single white ink or a combination of a plurality of white inks. It is used to control the brightness of the printing with a slight gradient.

又,於利用複數個油墨噴出用之列印波形或驅動電壓來控制油墨噴出量且可變更墨點直徑之噴墨印表機中,由於可對應複數個解像度,故而例如若以填入解像度1440dpi(dots per inch)所需之25μm左右之點徑來進行列印,則藉由細微之漸層來控制亮度變得容易,又,若使用填入360dpi所需之100μm左右之點徑則亦可提高列印速度。又,亦能以填入720dpi所需之50μm左右之點徑來進行列印。再者,於實際之列印中係一面使打印頭移動一面進行列印,故而墨點直徑成為橢圓,因此於所使用之解像度中即便於較窄之寬度方向只要係能填入之墨點直徑即可,於無法填入之情形時亦可將複數個點徑組合而進行列印。 Further, in an ink jet printer that controls the ink ejection amount by using a plurality of ink ejection wavelengths or driving voltages and can change the dot diameter, since a plurality of resolutions can be matched, for example, a resolution of 1440 dpi is filled in. (dots per inch) The required dot diameter of about 25 μm is used for printing, and it is easy to control the brightness by a slight gradation, and it is also possible to use a dot diameter of about 100 μm required for filling 360 dpi. Improve printing speed. Further, it is also possible to perform printing by filling in a dot diameter of about 50 μm required for 720 dpi. Furthermore, in the actual printing, the print head is moved while printing, so that the dot diameter is elliptical, so that in the resolution to be used, the diameter of the dot can be filled even in the narrow width direction. Yes, you can also combine multiple dot diameters for printing if you cannot fill them in.

對導光板6之列印結束時,將經列印之導光板6安裝於圖2所示之LED點亮台72,點亮LED,利用相機74拍攝導光板6之發光面,計測發光面之明亮度分佈。 When the printing of the light guide plate 6 is completed, the printed light guide plate 6 is attached to the LED lighting table 72 shown in FIG. 2, the LED is lit, and the light emitting surface of the light guide plate 6 is photographed by the camera 74, and the light emitting surface is measured. Brightness distribution.

將利用相機74測定所得之亮度資料(亮度係以色彩顯示)作為亮度分佈圖案圖顯示於電腦4之畫面中或列印出來,並與成為基準之理想亮度分佈圖案圖進行比較,若導光板6之亮度分佈與理想亮度分佈圖案一致或近似,則結束於電腦上之列印資料製作作業。若此時未獲得應滿意之結果,則修正列印資料,重複該作業直至獲得理想亮度分佈圖案為止。 例如於在圖12中亮度較高之部分稍許向下方偏移時,變更圖9所示之列印資料中之對應部分的列印資料之列印濃度、或使列印濃度較濃之部分之位置修正為稍許移向上方來應對。又,亦可考慮變更於該位置所使用之油墨種類或所使用之墨點直徑來應對。 The brightness data measured by the camera 74 (the brightness is displayed in color) is displayed as a brightness distribution pattern on the screen of the computer 4 or printed, and compared with the ideal brightness distribution pattern as a reference, if the light guide 6 The brightness distribution is consistent or similar to the ideal brightness distribution pattern, and the printing data production operation on the computer ends. If the result that should be satisfactory is not obtained at this time, the printed data is corrected, and the operation is repeated until the desired brightness distribution pattern is obtained. For example, when the portion having the higher luminance in FIG. 12 is slightly shifted downward, the printing density of the printing portion of the corresponding portion in the printing material shown in FIG. 9 is changed, or the printing density is increased. The position correction is to move slightly upwards. Further, it is also possible to cope with changing the type of ink used at the position or the diameter of the ink dot used.

於以使用有氧化鈦之白墨之噴墨方式變更列印密度而進行細微之列印的上述實施形態中,可提供一種不會引起所謂之點圖案可見現象之導光板。又,油墨之厚度於噴墨方式中亦可薄化,故而藉由透過部分與反射部分之光,可提供明亮之面發光。藉由預先將油墨準備複數種色溫不同之白墨,可簡單地以複數種色溫進行列印,且亦可進行組合之列印,故而可進行細緻之色溫控制。 In the above embodiment in which the printing density is changed by the ink jet method using the white ink of titanium oxide to perform fine printing, it is possible to provide a light guiding plate which does not cause a so-called dot pattern to be seen. Further, since the thickness of the ink can be made thinner in the ink jet method, bright surface light can be provided by the light transmitted through the portion and the reflecting portion. By preparing a plurality of white inks having different color temperatures in advance, it is possible to easily print at a plurality of color temperatures, and it is also possible to perform combination printing, so that fine color temperature control can be performed.

於減少氧化鈦之含量時,可簡單地控制光反射量之細微變更,且亦可設置複數種變更氧化鈦之含量而成之白墨,又,於使用較小之點徑進行列印之情形時可進行更為細緻之控制。 When reducing the content of titanium oxide, it is possible to easily control the slight change of the amount of light reflection, and it is also possible to provide a plurality of white inks which change the content of titanium oxide, and when printing with a smaller spot diameter More detailed control is possible.

將利用本裝置而製成之導光板用於液晶顯示裝置等時,若符合使用者之條件則亦可取消擴散板等,故而亦可實現藉由減少構造之薄型化。又,就成本方面而言亦可削減零件個數。 When the light guide plate manufactured by the present apparatus is used in a liquid crystal display device or the like, the diffusion plate or the like can be eliminated if the conditions of the user are satisfied, and the thickness of the structure can be reduced. In addition, the number of parts can be reduced in terms of cost.

於上述實施形態中,在導光板6單邊之邊緣部32配置有光源40,但並不特別限定於設置1個光源,亦可如圖8所示,在兩邊之邊緣部32、34配置光源40、40而。於在兩邊之端部設置有光源之情形時,亮度分佈亦會發生變化,故而需要與其配合的列印圖案,且就資料方面而言列印密度高之部分會向中心方向移動。再者,即便於光源之亮度上存在不均亦可藉由對該部分使用列印圖案進行修正而獲得所期望之亮度分佈,且可 對應兩端部之光源差。 In the above embodiment, the light source 40 is disposed on the edge portion 32 of one side of the light guide plate 6. However, the light source 40 is not particularly limited thereto, and as shown in FIG. 8, the light source may be disposed at the edge portions 32 and 34 on both sides. 40, 40 and. When a light source is provided at the end of both sides, the luminance distribution also changes, so that a print pattern to be matched with it is required, and in the data aspect, the portion having a high print density moves toward the center. Furthermore, even if there is unevenness in the brightness of the light source, the desired brightness distribution can be obtained by correcting the portion using the printing pattern, and Corresponding to the difference in light source at both ends.

再者,本案係為了說明利用固定媒體而以噴墨頭移動之裝置進行了說明,但並不限定於此,亦可為使媒體移動而進行列印之裝置或使用線性噴頭(line head)進行列印者等,只要可以噴墨方式進行列印者即可。 Further, although the present invention has been described with respect to an apparatus in which an inkjet head is moved by a fixed medium, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be a device for printing a medium to be printed or a line head. The printer or the like can be printed by an inkjet method.

又,於噴墨印表機中視產品之規格可使用複數個解像度,故可(例如選擇180~1440dpi等必要之列印模式而使用)根據需要而選擇解像度。 Further, in the ink jet printer, a plurality of resolutions can be used depending on the specifications of the product. Therefore, the resolution can be selected as needed (for example, selecting a necessary printing mode such as 180 to 1440 dpi).
