Abstract:
An electrophotographic device and electrophotography are provided which undergo no significant influence of dot gain, can realize a smooth tone representation and a high tone reproduction, and are less likely to give rise to moire. According to one embodiment, in binarizing a continuous tone image, a frequency modulation screening method is used to form a latent image free from moire and having a high relative resolution. The latent image thus obtained is developed with a liquid developer to form a thin toner layer, thereby forming a toner image having no significant mechanical and optical dot gains.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make enable processing an output of processing energy at high speed by controlling the processing energy output, so that when an energy giving position exists in an inner peripheral part of a recording disk, it is controlled to be smaller than the case when the position exists in the outer peripheral part. SOLUTION: A rotating device 7 holding an optical disk 1 to initialized is started to be rotated uniform speed at respective speeds Wo(rad/sec). Then, an exposure unit is moved, so that the position r of the energy giving position 10 in the disk radial direction of the exposure unit 2 on the optical disk 1 becomes the r imm, corresponding to the innermost peripheral part of the recording area of the optical disk 1. Simultaneously, a traverse motor 3 is rotated until the position r of the energy-giving position 10 ion the disk radial direction becomes the rf mm, corresponding to the outermost peripheral part of the recording area of the optical disk 1.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten a printing time by a method wherein an introduced printing medium is carried by a belt under effecting a crease streching and a width direction positioning and a printing process is held at the printing part which is arranged oppositely by a printing medium and one or more line heads as many as color numbers, thereafter, dried by a drying part. SOLUTION: A sheet printing medium is introduced to a predetermined position of a juxtapositioned carrier part 3 under effecting a crease streching, a centering, a curl correcting with two or more rolls 2b at the introduction part 2. In the carrier part 3 an adhesive agent is applied to a carrier belt 3b with a coating roll 3c in two or more steps and the introduced printed medium is pressed and stuck to the carrier belt 3b by a pressing roller 3e, and carried to the printing 4 in this state. A printing part 4 is arranged orthogonally to carrying direction of the printing medium, and arranged oppositely over the allouer width of a carrying belt 3, and has a line head 40 corresponding to an ink used. The print processed printing medium is dried at a pre-dry part 5, and further a drying part 6.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To repeatedly obtain a large number of high image quality prints by a single time of latent image formation even if a latent image is not formed every time the development and transfer are repeated by electrifying a ferroelectric latent image recording medium before the development. CONSTITUTION: This recording device is constituted to include a latent image forming means 2 for forming the latent image based on printing information on the ferroelectric latent image recording medium, a developing means 4 developing the latent image, to obtain a visible image and a transfer means 5 transferring the visible image onto a recording medium and provide an electrifying means 3 before the developing means 4. Preferably, a charge is uniformly imparted to the latent image recording medium by the electrifying means 3 and preferably, a destaticization means 8 is provided after the transfer means 5 and just before the electrifying means 3. Further, it is preferable that the charge having a polarity opposite to that of the electrifying means 3 is uniformly imparted to the latent image recording medium by the destaticization means 8. In this way, when the charge is uniformly applied to the full surface of the ferroelectric latent image recording medium on which the latent image is formed, the development so as to amplify the surface potential difference between an image part and a background part is attained.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To make a lens system compact by constituting a reflecting face of a part of a spherical face. CONSTITUTION:Since the reflecting face is constituted of a part of a spherical face, the curvature of the reflecting face in a plane orthogonal to a revolving shaft of a rotary polygonal mirror 4 and that in a plane parallel with the revolving shaft of the rotary polygonal mirror are made equal to each other, and therefore, the reflecting face is concerned in image formation of light equally in both of the plane orthogonal to the revolving shaft of the rotary polygonal mirror and the plane parallel with it. Consequently, it is unnecessary to use a lens different in curvature in planes orthogonal to and parallel with the revolving shaft of the rotary polygonal mirror in a lens system arranged in the light incidence side of the rotary polygonal mirror. Thus, the lens system is made compact.
