Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid discharging apparatus which can surely prevent clogging of nozzles by preventing consumption of useless ink or the like even in the case where liquid droplets are splattered out by a discharging direction variable method, and to provide a driving method of a liquid discharging apparatus.
SOLUTION: In the liquid discharging apparatus, a plurality of pressure variable elements for varying a pressure of a liquid chamber are set in one liquid chamber. Liquid droplets of a liquid held in the liquid chamber are splattered out by driving of the plurality of pressure variable elements from the nozzles towards a processing object by the liquid droplets. A balance of driving of the plurality of pressure variable elements is varied, whereby a popping direction of the liquid droplets is varied. After the liquid remaining in the nozzles is ejected out from the nozzles by a process of spare discharging, the liquid droplets are splattered out towards the processing object. The ejection of the liquid by the process of spare discharging is made a process of splatting out the liquid droplets from the nozzles in an extension direction of an axis of pipe of the nozzles.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce effects by discharge failures of a defective discharging part, by variably controlling discharging of ink liquid droplets from a discharging part near the defective discharging part for ink liquid droplets.
SOLUTION: In the image formation method, an image is formed on a recording medium 7 by discharging ink liquid droplets 3 to the recording medium 7 from each discharging part 4 of a printing head 1 which has a plurality of discharging parts 4 for discharging the ink liquid droplets 3. A reference pattern 9' is formed, which displays a discharge state of the ink liquid droplets 3 from all discharging parts 4 of the printing head 1 corresponding to an image formation region to the recording medium 7. Information on the discharging part 4a which fails to discharge is acquired by checking the discharge state of the ink liquid droplets 3 displayed by the reference pattern 9'. Image formation to the recording medium 7 is controlled by hindering the defective discharging part 4a from discharging ink liquid droplets 3 and by variably controlling discharging of ink liquid droplets 3 from the discharging parts 4b and 4c near the defective discharging part 4a.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printer in which the lifetime of a head element can be prolonged by avoiding concentration of the number of using times to a part of head elements of a line head. SOLUTION: A head controller 162 receives record data (print data) and controls ink liquid drop ejecting operation from a head element on a line head 120. More specifically, the head controller 162 shifts the print data by several pixels at a time in the arranging direction of the head elements on the line head 120 only when the same image is printed on a plurality of sheets. Alternatively, the head controller 162 may shift the print data by several pixels in the arranging direction of the head elements every time when the print data is printed on one sheet regardless of the number of sheets on which the same image is printed. The print data may be shifted not for each print sheet but for every plurality of sheets. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printer that can obtain a printer with high image quality from print data transferred while being converted into one-bit data to reduce a data transfer time. SOLUTION: A multi-value section 23 converts CMYK binary data in 1-bit from a layout section 22 into multi-value data. In details, A value to be taken by a target pixel is set to a table, which uses a parameter resulting from assigning binary gradation data (0, 1) of a target pixel and binary gradation data of 8 pixels at the surrounding of the target pixel, e.g. at the upper/lower/ left/right/oblique positions of the target pixel to each digit of a binary number in 8 digits, depending on a status of surrounding pixels and the binary gradation data are converted into multi-value data by referencing this table.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display different colors in accordance with driving voltage and driving time by utilizing colored electrophoretic particles. SOLUTION: Cyan, magenta and yellow or red, green and blue colored electrophoretic particles 7 having different electrophoretic mobilities according to color are separately incorporated into black colored dispersion medium 6 filled into microcapsules 5 forming a microcapsule layer 9. The colored electrophoretic particles having mutually different colors have mutually different electrophoretic mobilities and different colors are displayed by applying electric fields different from each other in intensity, direction, application time or the like to the resulting display medium.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a printer producing a high quality printed matter equivalent to that of offset print in which a different image can be printed every time by heating a liquid ink layer having viscoelasticity according to image information and bringing the ink layer into contact with an intermediate recording body having ink rejecting properties. SOLUTION: An ink image 6 formed on an intermediate recording body 1 is transferred onto a matter 8 to be printed, e.g. a paper, when it is pressed onto the intermediate recording body 1 by means of a transfer roller 7. The transfer roller 7 is disposed in parallel with an ink supply roller 3 and turned in the direction of an arrow C. Since the intermediate recording body 1 has ink rejecting properties, the ink image 6 is transferred from the intermediate recording body 1 onto the matter 8 to be printed at a transfer efficiency close to 100% when the temperature of liquid ink transferred to the intermediate recording body 1 is lowered and viscoelasticity is recovered. The ink image 6 being formed on the intermediate recording body 1 is not affected by the surface properties of the matter 8 to be printed and stabilized.
