PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an organic EL exposure device adapted to increase the number of transparent substrates obtainable from one sheet of transparent substrate and also shorten the distance between adjacent organic EL panels to reduce unevenness in exposure.SOLUTION: An organic EL exposure device comprises: an organic EL panel 10A having a transparent substrate 11 formed in shape of a long plate greater in length than in width and a surface 11a serving as a luminescent plane, a transparent electrode 12 formed on a reverse side 11b of the transparent substrate 11, a luminescent part 17 laminated on the transparent electrode 12 leaving a peripheral section 11c on the reverse side thereof, and a metal electrode 16 holding the luminescent part 17 between the transparent electrode 12 and itself; and an exposure frame 20 having an accommodation recess 21 in which the luminescent part 17 and the metal electrode 16 are accommodated via a gap G. While the peripheral section 11c on the reverse side 11b of the transparent substrate 11 is being in contact with an opening peripheral section 21b in the accommodation recess 21 of the exposure frame 20, the organic EL panel 10A is fixed to the exposure frame 20 with a sealing material 30 and the accommodation recess 21 is thereby sealed up.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a recovery method which enables the infilling of ink and the removal of air bubbles generated in the ink, without generating the air bubbles, because the poor formation of an image and a failure in a head are caused by having the air bubbles generated and accumulated in a recording head and an ink passage, while the ink is ejected to a certain degree, when the recording head and the ink passage are recovered. SOLUTION: The head and the ink passage are brought under negative pressure by a suction pump; the negative pressure of the head and the ink passage is maintained by using a negative pressure tank; and the ink is poured in, so that recovery can be performed without the intrusion of the air bubbles. Since the ink is not sucked in from a head nozzle or discharged by the pressure of the pump, a recovery tub can be structurally simplified to be downsized. Additionally, since the ink is hardly brought into contact with air, the mixture of dust into the ink and thickening caused by the evaporation of moisture can be prevented in the recycling of the ink, so that image quality can be stabilized.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inkjet recording device which prevents ejection failure called wet non-ejection caused by the ink droplets remaining after wiping when a recording head has a long size or the water repellency on ink ejection port forming surface deteriorates after a long of use. SOLUTION: The surrounding of the ink ejection port forming surface 22Ks of the recording head 22K except an ink ejection port 305 is covered with an ink transfer member 404 having a capillary force and an ink holding member 405 to absorb the surplus ink droplets left on the ink ejection port forming surface 22Ks, and further to suck and retain the ink, thereby diffusing and removing the stuck ink droplets to prevent non-ejection or the like.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inkjet recording head which is free from an ink spillage from the head and the contamination of the interior/the periphery of a printer or the hand of an operator during replacing the inkjet recording head. SOLUTION: In this imaging device, all opening parts such as joints other than a discharging nozzle, are closed using a dedicated cap or an automatically closing joint during removing the head from the device main body, and thus the ink leakage is prevented from occurring. Consequently, the periphery of the printer and the hand of an operator are not contaminated. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress uneven wetting on a region in the vicinity of an ejection nozzle without being affected by a composition of a used ink even when an inkjet recording head is used for a long time period. SOLUTION: At least a region in the vicinity of each ejection nozzle on a face formed thereon having a plurality of ejection nozzles for ejecting ink in the inkjet recording head is made to be one having a high affinity for ink by a chemical treatment. As uniform wetting 401 of ink occurs on the region in the vicinity of each of the ejection nozzles, each ink droplet 304 is ejected in a predetermined direction. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fixing device that prevents the degradation of image quality, even if some unevenness is caused in pre-fixing toner particles. SOLUTION: A stirring mechanism 54 and an ultraviolet rays irradiation source 56 are arranged substantially adjacent to a discharge head 52 at downstream side from a discharge head 52 in the recording medium conveyance direction. A liquid ultraviolet curing resin D covering a toner image T1 is irradiated by an electromagnetic wave 40 MW from the stirring mechanism 54 with the conveyance of a recording medium P. Thereby, a heat gradient is generated in the liquid ultraviolet curing resin D. Convection is generated in the interior of the ultraviolet curing resin D by the heat gradient, and the toner image T1 is stirred in a certain range. Subsequently, the ultraviolet rays irradiation source 56 irradiates the ultra-violet rays, and the ultraviolet curing resin D is solidified (cured) and the toner image T1 is fixed on the recording medium P.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ink jet recording apparatus which can realize, for example, high-quality image formation by a recording head in the state that a sheet-like recording medium is retained planar. SOLUTION: The ink jet recording apparatus performs recording by discharging ink from a recording head (201) onto a sheet S1 which is a recording medium conveyed by conveyance belts 202. In the ink jet recording apparatus, image formation by the recording head is performed in the state in which a sheet-like holding member 210 is pressed against approximately the entirety (width × height) of the sheet S1 with respect to the conveyance belts 202. The sheet S1 is pressed evenly from above by the pressing member 210; therefore, disturbances of the image is suppressed, and even when rounding (curl) is generated particularly when the sheet S1 is paper, it can be effectively held by the holding member 210 by a force stronger than that. The ink can pass through (permeate) the holding member 210, and an image is formed and recorded by the ink onto the below sheet S1. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a recovery mechanism which can cut bridging of ink in a short time. SOLUTION: An ink guide 73 which guides the ink removed by an ink removing member 72 from a head face surface 22Ks to an ink reservoir 56 is set between lower parts of two ink removing members 72b and 72c. The ink guide 73 is fixed to the upper wall part 52c of a cap frame 52 which constitutes an upper wall of an ink passage 58a. The ink guide 73 is a plate-like one and has a nearly equal length (length in an arrow L direction) to that of two ink removing members 72b and 72c. Moreover, the ink guide 73 is arranged to hold an interval between the ink removing members 72b and 72c constant. The ink guide 73 is manufactured by rolling a stainless steel and has its surface subjected to hydrophilic treatment. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
