Definitions

  • the invention relates to electrophotography, and it particularly pertains to processes for use with electrophotographic film structures which can be developed by heat and viewed with simple optics.
  • thermoplastic recording technique is described in an article by W. E. Glennfinthe Journal ofAppli'ed Physics, volume 30, No. 12, December 1959, pages 1870- 1873.
  • the film structure consists of a sandwich comprising a high'melting base film, a ⁇ transparent conducting coating laid down on the b-ase film, and a low meltingfthermoplastic layer laid down on the conducting coating.
  • the sandwich is ⁇ placed in a 'vacuum chamber in which an .electron gun is arranged.
  • a charge Vpattern is laid down'on the upper surface 'ofthe thermoplastic film yby scanning the'electron beam: overl the surface.
  • the film is thenfheated to the melting point of the thermoplastic permitting the electrostatic fo'rces between the charges on thefilmiand the conductive coating to depress thesurface'of the thermoplastic where the charges occur until these 'forces are'in equilibrium with the sur-face tension restoring forces.
  • the film structure is then cooled belowlthe melting point of the thermoplastic and the deformations are retained in the solidified surface. Erasure is accomplished by heating-the film well above the melting point in the ⁇ absence of any c-harge'p-attern whereby surface .tension will then smooth out the deformations and the film is ready for reuse.
  • the yfilm is usually heated' in the vacuum cham-ber for developing the'deformations by inducing current in the transparent conducting coating.
  • a modified Schlieren optical system is necessary for viewing the heat developed images.
  • variable optical element is ,a thin, uniform, flexible, solid film of low, but finite electrical conductivity.
  • a reflecting coat of aluminum isplaced ⁇ on one side of the film and the other side is coated with a mosaic of isolated target elements.
  • the film is mounted within a cathode ray tube equipped with a transparent window instead of the usual screen with the aluminumized side of the thin film facing outward.
  • the other side of .the film thenv receives a raster charge'deposited on the mosaic -by the electron gun of the cathode ray tube.
  • the resulting electrostatic forces give rise to correspond- ⁇ ing deformation of the otherwise plane reflecting surface.
  • Vfilm in Vacuum by the prior art method is, of course, a rconsiderable disadvantage
  • An object of the invention is an electrophotographic process in which electrostatic images canbe produced on film in air by known techniques and then developed lin air, obviating the requirement for a vacuum chamber and the necessity of inserting the film therein and removing it therefrom.
  • Another object of the invention is to be able to develop continuous-tone images as well as line images.
  • a further object of the invention is .to produce images which can be observed visibly without the aid of special optical systems.
  • Still another object of the invention is to produce a method applicable to direct photography, obviating the use of powders and powder handling devices and the attendant machine fouling problems.
  • a more specific object of the invention is to provide film structures for producing a photographic record in the form of electrostatic images by thermal development.
  • an electrostatic image is first established by known methods on a dielectric film structure .according to the invention.
  • the film structure according to the invention bearingY a latent electrostatic image is heated for a sort time by known means ⁇ to a temperature above the melting point of one of the constituents of the film structure to develop the image which may be seen wit-h the naked eye and handled in simple optical systems.
  • Heat developing film structures according to the inventionfor producing visible images corresponding to electrostatic charge patterns established on the film generically comprise a sandwich of .a base layer, an outer heating to those areas corresponding to the electrostatic charge pattern. At least the outer layer or stratum has a melting point lower than that of the other layers. In some forms of the invention the outer and intermediate strata are not separated by any fine line of vdemarcation and, therefore, havethe same melting point.
  • layer is conductive to an extent sufficient for the image transfer process and is preferably, but not necessarily, transparent.
  • the base layer ⁇ may be stripped Vaway from the remainder of the film if such is self-supporting after it is developed. In such cases, the base layer may be a metal plate.
  • 'Ihe film structures according to the invention take different forms for different applications.
  • a transparent base layer of suitable material on which there is -a conductive layer and an .outer layer of transparent dielectric material which has a melting pointlower than that of th other layers.

  • a further film structure according to the invention comprises upper and intermediate layers of wax or resin with a polycrystalline structure which is normally opaque rendering a diffused refraction of l-ight at the interfaces of the crystals. lThe lowered surface tension orf the melted layers subjected to the electric stress at the electrostatic charge image areas renders the crystals amorphous on the application of heat. The image th-en appears as a transparent area in an opaque background.
  • Another film structure according to the invention comprises a strata orf resin having a smooth surface beneath which is' more of the material containing minute capsules filled with dye-forming material.
  • An intermediate layer contains a chemical which will react with the dye-forming material.
  • a colored image is formed in the areas :where the electrostatic stress is sufcient to cause the capsules of dye-forming material to collapse, thus releasing the dye-forming material to react with the chem-ical.
  • Still another film structure according to the invention comprises a stratum of fusible resin containing embedded infin-sible particles cov-ered by another stratum of fusible resin only providing an optically smooth surface.
  • the combination of heat with the electrostatic stress in the yimage areas compresses the resin below the upper portions of the infusible particles. This produces an image of roughened or grainy consistency on a smooth background.
  • a further film structure according to the invention comprises an outer continuous layer of one resinand a layer of compound reactive with each other to produce a color change and separated by a very th-in layer of fusible resin.
  • the fusible resin flows sidefways because of the electrostatic stress in the image lines, allowing lthe one resin and the reactive compound to come into contact and produce a colored image visible to the eye.
