Definitions
- the present invention relates to, for example, a reflection characteristic measuring apparatus that measures the reflection characteristic of a sample surface such as color evaluation in a printed material, and a method of manufacturing a polarizing plate used in the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus.
- Print quality management for example, ink color adjustment
- a printed material is performed by measuring reflection characteristics such as ink print density and color value in a test patch of CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black).
- the print density of the ink is measured according to ISO 5-4.
- CMYK cyan, magenta, yellow, black
- the print density of the ink is measured according to ISO 5-4.
- a so-called 45/0 geometry that irradiates illumination light from a direction of 45 ° with respect to the normal of the sample surface and receives reflected light in the normal direction among the reflected light reflected by the sample surface, or A so-called 0/45 geometry in which the illumination direction and the light receiving direction are interchanged with each other is used.
- the ink printing density immediately after printing In order to suppress the occurrence of defective products by quickly responding to changes in the ink density during printing, it is necessary to measure the ink printing density immediately after printing. However, when the ink which has not been dried immediately after printing is dried, the print density is changed by dry-down. For this reason, the printing density of the ink immediately after printing cannot be directly compared with the density of the reference sample in the dry state.
- the dry-down is a phenomenon in the printed matter that the print density in the dried ink is reduced by drying the ink as compared with the print density in the ink immediately after printing.
- This dry down is caused by the difference between the reflection of light on the surface of the ink layer immediately after printing (ink layer formed on the paper surface by printing) and the reflection of light on the surface of the ink layer after drying the ink. . That is, immediately after printing, the surface of the ink layer is smooth regardless of the unevenness of the paper surface. Therefore, the illumination light from the 45 ° direction is regularly reflected on the surface of the ink layer, and the reflected illumination light is reflected in the 0 ° direction (on the paper surface). It does not enter the light receiving system that receives reflected light in the normal direction.
- the surface of the ink layer becomes a shape along the unevenness of the paper surface (that is, the uneven shape), so that the illumination light is irregularly reflected on the surface of the ink layer and a part thereof enters the light receiving system. . For this reason, dry-down occurs.
- polarizing plates whose polarization directions (polarization axes and polarization characteristics) are orthogonal to each other are inserted into the illumination optical system and the light receiving optical system, respectively, and the print density is measured. This eliminates the influence of dry-down, and the print density of the ink immediately after printing is compared with the density of the reference sample.
- This density measurement utilizes the fact that the polarization characteristics of the illumination light polarized by the polarizing plate inserted in the illumination optical system is maintained in the illumination light reflected on the dried ink layer surface, and is regularly reflected on the ink layer surface. The incident illumination light is blocked (prevented) from being incident on the light receiving optical system by a polarizing plate inserted in the light receiving optical system.
- an annular first polarizing plate 101 and a circular second polarizing plate 102 disposed on the center side thereof are bonded together so that their polarization directions are orthogonal to each other.
- the polarizing plate 100 is used for measurement.
- the illumination light 103 passes through the second polarizing plate 102, and the illumination light (reflected light) 104 reflected by the sample surface s passes through the first polarizing plate 101. It has been measured.
- the illumination optical system and the light receiving optical system can be arranged close to each other. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the size of the apparatus for measuring the reflection characteristics.
- the polarization direction (polarization axis) of the second polarizing plate 102 through which the illumination light 103 passes and the illumination light reflected by the sample surface s in order to ensure sufficient measurement accuracy.
- the polarization direction (polarization axis) of the first polarizing plate through which the reflected light 104 passes must be accurately orthogonalized.
- the ISO standard specifies that the accuracy is within ⁇ 5 °.
- a small disc-shaped second polarizing plate 102 is disposed inside the first polarizing plate 101 in the radial direction. Therefore, the first polarizing plate 101 and the second polarizing plate are arranged. When pasting the plate 102 together, it has been difficult to accurately cross the polarization directions of each other.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to accurately determine the polarization direction of each other when a polarizing plate through which illumination light passes and a polarizing plate through which reflected light passes are arranged. It is another object of the present invention to provide a reflection characteristic measuring apparatus that can be easily orthogonalized and a method of manufacturing a polarizing plate used in the reflection characteristic measuring apparatus.
- the illumination light polarizing plate inserted into the illumination optical system for guiding the illumination light to the sample surface, and the reflected light of the illumination light reflected by the sample surface is detected.
- the reflected light polarizing plate inserted into the light receiving optical system that guides light to the portion is held by the holder in a state of being overlapped in the thickness direction.
- the holder has a fitting portion that determines a held posture, and each of the polarizing plate for illumination light and the polarizing plate for reflected light has a fitting portion that fits the fitting portion of the holder.
- each fitting part is provided in the position where the said polarizing plate for illumination light and the said polarizing plate for reflected light are hold
- die part for the said polarizing plate for reflected light By punching out the polarizing plate for illumination light and the polarizing plate for reflected light from the same polarizing plate member, the polarizing plate for illumination light and the polarizing plate for reflected light are manufactured. For this reason, such a reflection characteristic measuring apparatus and a method of manufacturing a polarizing plate can accurately and easily orthogonally cross each other's polarization directions when the polarizing plate for illumination light and the polarized light for reflected light are arranged.
