The imaging of this thermal transfer donor may need this imaging head 108 to be configured to produce wavelength and power Be enough to the infrared light causing colorant from donor 150 thermal transfer to display base plate 120.A kind of suitable Imaging head 108 be Rochester, New York Eastman Kodak produce ThermalImaging head.Although the various embodiments disclosed in the present invention are all to supply with reference to thermal transfer The imaging of body describes, but other are for the imaging technique of filter transfer, and such as ink-jet turns The transfer of print, ultraviolet, the laser explosure of chromatic photoresist material or other method, equally can also be by Implement on display base plate 120, form filter element.
In the operation of this system 100, when imaging head 108 is according to the signal port from controller 140 When the view data that 142 receive modulates multiple imaging beam 128, controller 140 makes chuck 116 Move along the second axle 124.In one embodiment so that this chuck 116 is with about 2m/s's Speed is traversing.The relative motion produced between chuck 116 and imaging head 108 makes multiple imaging Bundle 128 goes out the width having and the multiple light beams 128 produced by imaging head 108 along the second imaging shaft The suitable elongated row (being illustrated as dotted outline with 136) of width.In one embodiment, become As 108 224 imaging beams of generation, these beam spacing 10.6 μm, and then create one The elongated row of 2.374mm width.
Pass through for the first time traversing by multiple display base plates 120 once this chuck 116, control Device 140 makes linear electric motors 122 be decelerated to chuck 116 stop, and makes the traversing of chuck 116 Direction is reverse.When chuck 116 slows down, linear electric motors 112 move imaging head 108 and cross one carefully The width (that is, crossing 2.374mm in the above-described embodiments) of long line, and with elongated row 136 It is logical in second time that the imaging of another adjacent elongated row (not shown in figure 1) starts from chuck 116 Return when crossing substrate 120 is traversing.Correspondingly, in described exercisable embodiment, at card Dish 116 every time by time imaging go out elongated row.But, in other embodiments, may Need staggered mode imaging described below.In this case, linear electric motors 112 can move Imaging head 108 crosses the distance less than an elongated column width, so that the elongated row of imaging next time At least partly overlapping with these the most imaged elongated row.
Being moved into as going out continuous print across multiple display bases of the traversing and imaging head 108 of chuck 116 The elongated row of plate 120, contribute to depositing filter at multiple deposition positions.For the one-tenth having As having the imaging head 108 of constant spacing between the light beam of light beam 128, corresponding deposition position is limited It is scheduled on the multiple dispersed locations on the direction of the first axle 110.But, in the reality of above-mentioned photohead Execute in example, this light beam 128 on the direction of the second axle 124 traversing by display base plate 120 and Correspondingly the deposition on this axle can occur comparing with the region provided in the first axle 110 direction Bigger or less region.With KodakAs a example by imaging head, this light beam 128 can To have a substantially rectangular cross section, it extends about 10.6 μm at the first direction of principal axis 110, and Second direction of principal axis 124 only extends about 1-2 μm.In this case, on the second direction of principal axis 124 Deposition position can be controlled as filtering than bigger precision deposition possible on the first direction of principal axis 110 Material.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, chuck 116 is traversing on the direction of the second axle 124 passes through base The upper surface 104 of seat 102, and imaging head 108 only moves upward in the side of the first axle 110.At it In his embodiment, chuck can be static with opposite base 102, and pontic 106 can be arranged on directly To realize the imaging head 108 transverse motion on the first axle 110 and the second axle 124 on trajectory.
Under many circumstances, the display base plate 120 that it will be formed with filter element is rigidity. But, even if the display produced will be flexible display, very widespread practice is will so Flexible display process this flexible display when being installed on the rigid carrier removed subsequently.Real at other Executing in example, flexible display substrate can be configured to just be adapted to mount to a cylindrical drum surface On, in this case, the imager of drum type pedestal can be with the flat-panel imager shown in alternate figures 1. Flat panel imaging system shown in FIG is equally used for processing flexibility substrate.
Display base plate
The display base plate part of in display base plate 120 one is the most more specifically shown Shown in 138(Fig. 1).With reference to Fig. 2, this display base plate part 138 includes multiple pixel 200, Multiple pixels 200 in this embodiment are reflective display picture element, so arrive down in response to offer The pumping signal of layer driver (not shown), incides ambient light in pixel from being reflected by the pixel State changes into the state absorbed by pixel.
In the particular embodiment shown, pixel 200 includes: first group of pixel, shape in this pixel Become to have green filter element 202;Second group of pixel, is formed with blue filter element 204 in this pixel; With the 3rd group of pixel, it is formed with red filter element 206 in this pixel.Uncovered additionally It is formed without color filter element in four groups of pixels 208.Color filter element 202-206 and not being coated to The pixel 208 of lid is operable to generate reflected image, wherein, from first, second, and third group of picture The light of element reflection is that the image produced provides chrominance component, and uncovered pixel 208 provides more Bright display.So, owing to containing uncovered pixel 208, such it is arranged on reduction Traded off between colour gamut and display brightness of image.In the embodiment shown, each colorized optical filtering unit Part 202 206 only covers a part of region relevant to each capped pixel 200, and part Region 210 is still that uncovered.This uncovered region 210 and uncovered pixel 208 Having same function, wherein this uncovered region improves the brightness of reflective display.Due to The deposition that these uncovered regions reduce filter element material surmounts the scope of related pixel 200 And extend to the probability in neighbor, therefore this uncovered region 210 also relaxes and filters Optical element 202-206 arranges relevant tolerance.Various other color filter element 202-206, The arrangement in uncovered pixel 208 and uncovered region 210 can be used for manufacturing reflection Escope.Such as, some embodiments can be omitted uncovered pixel 208, and increase not Capped region 210.Similarly, other embodiment fully can cover each with filter The area of pixel, and rely on uncovered pixel 208 to produce required display brightness.
Although as in case of a transmissive type display, the chromatic filter energy of reflective display Enough manufactured on single substrate, but color filter element can also be straight by digital imaging technology Connect and be formed in reflective display picture element.The digital image of chromatic filter includes using digital image Colorant is transferred on other mono-color reflective escope Systematic selection.
Non-reflective display, such as LCD display, typically requires that pixel light emission region is all filtered Luminescent material covers, the black matrix" on these areas but non-luminous region of pixel is generally blocked Material is covered.In such internal display producing luminous flux, brightness can be carried on the back by increase Intensity of illumination increases, and therefore compared to reflective display, display brightness may less be concerned.
No matter the type of display, the layout of filter element should be enough accurate, less desirable to avoid Effect, such as neighborhood pixels are partly covered by adjacent filter element, or can not cover enough Elemental area.Arrange that the deficiency of accuracy is also possible to cause less desirable image artifacts, this image artifacts It is that eyes are visible and its detraction is by the picture quality of the display generation obtained.Especially, people The eyes of class are the most sensitive for regular pattern, and this regular pattern can be arranged by color filter element Error causes.
In one embodiment, the pixel 200 on reflective display can have in about 90 μm Size between 220 μm, and the area coverage of color filter materials can account for elemental area About 60% to about about 100%.
When the multiple display base plate 120 of imaging, yield is an important Consideration and wishes Process multiple display as shown in Figure 1.The multiple display base plate of imaging simultaneously 120 decreases The time overhead relevant to display base plate 120 and the loading of related donor sheet 150 and unloading.With often Secondary imaging single substrate is compared, and imaging simultaneously also reduces and subtracts at each traversing end with chuck 116 Speed, the expense that reversion chuck motion direction is relevant with again speeding up image taking speed.
Kept the embodiment connected by common carrier or substrate layer at multiple display base plates 120 In, skew and the rotation of the pixel of each display base plate should be directed at substantially.But, at other In embodiment, even as it is shown in figure 1, initially as a bigger base supporting multiple display A part for plate is processed, and each display base plate 120 is also to separate, it is thus possible to have respectively The difference can not ignore in orientation between individual display, due to the pixel on a display base plate May not be directed at the pixel on other display base plate so that be suitable to imaging axis right of pixel orientation Quasi-complication.
Correspondingly, it is often impossible to filter element 202-206 is all of many to select one ensure that All in the imaging starting position of correct layout on individual display base plate.This error may be significantly Depend on the relative alignment between each substrate, and do not eliminate this species diversity and may cause filter element Obvious placement error relative to the pixel of display base plate.Additionally, display base plate 120 also may be used To rotate about axle 110 and 124, this will introduce extra placement error.

Form filter element
See Fig. 4, illustrate generally a flow chart with 400, the flowchart depicts for guiding place Reason device circuit 300 uses this digital imaging system 100 to form optical filtering on multiple display base plates 120 The module of the code of element.This module generally represents can be by from computer-readable medium 312 Reading and be stored in the code in program storage storage 322, this code is used for guiding micro-process Device 302 performs the various function relevant with deposition filter element material on display 120.In order to reality The actual code of existing each module can use the most suitable programming language, such as, C, C++ And/or assembly code.
This flow process 400 is by module 402, and this module 402 guides microprocessor 302 to receive orientation Information, this orientation information defines setting of the multiple pixels 200 relevant to each display base plate 120 Put.
Hereafter this flow process continues from module 404, and this module 404 guides microprocessor 302 at multiple pictures Element 200 identifying, the pixel by receiving filter is to form filter element in identified pixel 202-206.In one embodiment, module 404 guides microprocessor 302 from alterable memory 306 Display configuration storage 352 in read pixel configuration information.In many examples, multiple display Substrate 120 will be configured equally, and configuration (that is, the size of pixel, quantity and the cloth of pixel Office) also can be identical.In other embodiments, different configuration of display base plate 120 is permissible The most processed, in this case, for each display base plate 120 from display configuration storage Read pixel configuration information in 352.Which the pixel configuration information read from storage 352, identifies Individual pixel (i.e. the pixel groups being provided with filter element 202-206 in Fig. 2) will receive correspondence Color filter materials, and filter element and/or uncovered region can be limited further The size of 210.Such as, pixel configuration information can as include identify pixel coordinate file and Stored.
It follows that module 406 guides microprocessor 302 according to the orientation letter received in module 402 Breath selects deposition position in each identified pixel.In one embodiment, as in detail below As Miao Shuing, the selection of deposition position need to meet with filter element 202-206 in pixel 200 Arrange relevant alignment criteria.It is each that module 408 can guide microprocessor 302 to identify further The digital mask value of the selected deposition position of filter element is saved in the numeral of alterable memory 306 In mask storage 356.Digital mask can as such as bitmap file, tiff file or other fit When the image file of file format stored.
It follows that this flow process 400 is continued by module 408, this module 408 guides microprocessor 302 Read the digital mask value in digital mask storage 356, and at port 142,144 and 146 Generate control signal so that filter element is deposited at selected deposition position, as above for numeral The description of imaging system 100.Swashed corresponding to the one or more of selected deposition position by excitation Light beam and make imaging head 108 respond.
In the embodiment of the flow process 400 shown in Fig. 4, module 404 and 406 can be in module 408 In the step starting to deposit filter element material before complete.But, in other embodiments, Module 408 can start before module 404 and/or module 406 complete.
Receive orientation information
Fig. 5 shows in detail the module 402 for receiving orientation information shown in Fig. 4 with 402 Flow process.See Fig. 5, each display base plate in multiple display base plates 120 is carried out Flow process 402.This flow process is from the beginning of module 500, and this module 500 guides microprocessor 302 to generate control Signal processed make photographing unit 132 position with gather show each display base plate 120 there is labelling 134 The view data of part.
Fig. 6 shows the floor map of display base plate 120.See Fig. 6, an embodiment In, it is mounted with that 9 independent display base plates are to process in digital imaging system 100 simultaneously.One For as, display base plate 120 can be installed in framework (not shown in figure 1), and this framework will Each display is oriented relative to the first axle 110 and the second axle 124 is substantially orthogonal, the first axle 110 It is defined as imaging head 108 and the direction of chuck 116 motion with the second axle 124.In figure 6, should Framework is represented by dotted line 608-612 and 614-618, which show the pass of multiple display base plate 120 Setting needed for axle 110 and 124.
In general, the display picture element 200 on display base plate 120 can pass through photoetching process Formed, process provides the pixel 200 with precise intervals and orientation.But, general subsequently Display base plate is divided into the cutting of independent display base plate 120 may cause pixel 200 opposing substrate The slightly misalignment at edge.Compared between Pixel Dimensions and/or the deposition position that provided by imaging head 108 Spacing, the registration (if provided that) of framework may also be coarse.Then, Duo Gexian Show that the second display substrate 604 in device substrate 120 has the relevant setting about axle 110 and 124, That includes side-play amount D relative to line 6141, relative to side-play amount D of line 6102And the anglec of rotation Degree θ.In figure 6, such misalignment, the such as size of pixel 200 are for the sake of clarity amplified. In practice, this misalignment may be small enough to for bore hole inconspicuous, but if does not entangles Just, it be enough to the most inaccurate to the layout causing at least some filter element 202-206.Additionally, it is real The display on border is compared with the display shown in Fig. 6, and Pixel Dimensions is the most much smaller, and number is the most more Many.
It follows that this flow process is continued by module 502, this module 502 guides microprocessor processes image To determine each labelling 134 coordinate (x over the display1,y1), (x2,y2) and (x3,y3).Such as, The first labelling 134 above the right side of the first display base plate 602 in multiple display base plates 120 Coordinate (x1,y1) it is shown as the coordinate of coordinate system that reference axis 110 and 124 limits.
It follows that module 504 guides the D of microprocessor 302 calculation display substrate1、D2And θ It is worth, and module 506 guides microprocessor this value to be stored in shown in alterable memory 306(Fig. 3) Orientation information storage 350 in.See Fig. 6, in this embodiment, D1Value be calculated as each The first labelling on display base plate is from the side-play amount of line 614, as shown in display base plate 604.Class As, D2Value be calculated as first labelling side-play amount from line 610.In this embodiment, each Right side overlay mark that the angle, θ of display base plate is defined as on display base plate 604 and right side The line extended between the labelling of lower section is relative to the angular deviation of the second axle 124.And then, this angle, θ by Given below:
θ = arctan [ x 2 - x 1 y 2 - y 1 ] Equation 1
Wherein, (x1,y1), (x2,y2) it is each of labelling above and below the right side as determined in module 502 From coordinate.It follows that module 506 guides microprocessor 302 that this value is stored in alterable memory In the orientation information storage 350 of 306.
Select deposition position
After module 402 and 404 in performing this flow process 400, it is stored in alterable memory 306 Orientation information storage 350 and display configuration storage 352 in information be easy to calculate with each show The relevant multiple pixels 200 of device substrate 120 are relative to the first axle 110 and setting of the second axle 124. Two display base plates 602 and 604 illustrate with zoomed-in view in the figure 7.With reference to Fig. 7, by imaging The 108 elongated row of imaging 136 produced are shown as being superimposed upon on display base plate 602-604, and And include multiple deposition position 700.In this embodiment being described, imaging head 108 is configured to Second direction of principal axis is formed 24 deposition positions.Deposition position 700 shown in Fig. 7 is shown as There is the close width on the first axle 110 and the length along the second axle 124, but real at other Executing in example, the width of the first axle and the length of the second axle can be different.Due to imaging head 108 Motion with chuck 116 defines the first axle 110 and the second axle 124, the most elongated row 136 and One axle and the second axle alignment.
For selecting along the first axle 110 shown in module 406(Fig. 4 of deposition position in first embodiment) Flow process represent with 800 in fig. 8.Seeing Fig. 8, this flow process 800, should from the beginning of module 802 Module 802 guides microprocessor 302 to store from the threshold value of alterable memory 306 and reads layout 354 Threshold value.This layout threshold value represents the filter element layout relative to the border of identified pixel 200 Tolerance.It follows that module 804 guides microprocessor 302 to read display from storage 352 The configuration information of substrate 602.It is aobvious that module 804 also guides microprocessor 302 to read from storage 350 Show the orientation information of device substrate 602.
It follows that this flow process 800 is continued by module 806, this module 806 guides microprocessor 302 The border of first identified pixel 702 is relative to heavy to use configuration information and orientation information to determine The setting of long-pending position 700.This orientation information provides D1、D2With the value of θ, these values combine should The pixel configuration of display base plate can calculate each pixel on display base plate relative to first Axle 110 and the position of the second axle 124 and border.
It follows that module 808 guides microprocessor 302 to select deposition position, this deposition position will make First filter element 710 is arranged in the position of approximate centre in pixel boundary.See above Fig. 7, institute The first filter element 710 shown covers 16 deposition positions, and along the first axle 110 and pixel limit Boundary is inwardly generally isolated and opens about deposition position.Module 808 guides microprocessor 302 further The numeral that the selected deposition position of the first filter element 710 is saved in alterable memory 306 is covered In mould storage 356.
It follows that flow process 800 is continued by module 810, module 810 guides microprocessor 302 to calculate The layout of the second filter element 712 makes the first axle deposition position phase of itself and the first filter element 710 With, thus processing is along the identified pixel 704 of the next one of the second axle 124.In the embodiment shown Calculate the layout deviation value at the center on the border relative to the second pixel 704 of filter element 712.
Subsequently, module 812 guides microprocessor 302 to determine the layout deviation of the second filter element 712 Whether meet alignment criteria, include in this case determining that whether this deviation value is less than or equal at mould The threshold value read at block 802.If at module 812, meet this alignment criteria, then this stream Journey is continued by module 814, and this module 814 guides microprocessor 302 by the second filter element 712 Selected deposition position is saved in digital mask storage 356.Subsequently, this flow process is by module 816 Continue, this module 816 guide microprocessor 302 to determine filter element all of for substrate 602 is No it is arranged.In this case, still will be by due to other filter element 714 and 718 Arrange, so module 816 guides microprocessor 302 return to module 810 and add in the same way Work the 3rd pixel 706.
In example shown in the figure 7, the 3rd pixel 706 also meets alignment criteria, therefore identifies The digital mask value of selected deposition position is saved to the digital mask storing in 356.Work as module When the alignment criteria of 812 is satisfied, first three filter element 710-714 is on display base plate 602 Filter element be arranged on the direction of the first axle 110 and be moved to the left continuously.
If alignment criteria is not satisfied at module 812, then this flow process is continued by module 818, This module 818 guides microprocessor 302 to make the layout of filter element move one along the first axle 110 Or multiple deposition position, make the center that filter element returns to approximately in pixel along the first axle 110. See above Fig. 7, in the embodiment shown, the 4th pixel 708 alignment criteria at module 812 It is not satisfied, and the layout of the 4th therefore shown filter element 716 retracts one along the first axle First axle deposition position.Subsequently, this flow process 800 is continued by module 818, and this module 818 guides micro- Processor 302 to module 816, module 816 guides microprocessor by the quilt of the 4th filter element 716 The deposition position selected is saved in digital mask storage 356.
In the embodiment shown by Fig. 7,24 deposition positions formed by imaging head 108 are permitted Permitted two row filter elements to deposit simultaneously, thus this flow process 800 can be performed to generate at this one-tenth As arranging the digital mask value of extra element 718-722 in elongated row 136.Similarly, this flow process 800 will be performed the elongated row (not shown) forming continuous print along the first axle 110, thus be formed Cover the digital mask value of all of pixel 200 relevant to display base plate.In the reality shown in Fig. 7 Executing in example, filter element 710-722 corresponds to the green filter element 202 shown in Fig. 2, and separately The deposition position of outer filter element 204 and 206 can be likewise by performing same flow process 800 It is chosen.
If all of filter element of display base plate 602 is arranged at module 816, then Module 816 guides microprocessor 302 to module 820, module 820 to guide microprocessor 302 to process Next display base plate, this next one display base plate is display base plate 604 in this case. Module 820 guides microprocessor 302 to return to module 804 subsequently, reads display at this module 804 The display configuration information of device substrate 604 and orientation information.All have at all substrates 120 and similarly configure Embodiment in, read configuration information step can be omitted.Module 806 guides micro-process again Device 302 uses configuration information and orientation information to determine, and the first identified pixel 702 is relative to deposition The setting on the border of position 700.As for substrate 602, orientation information provides D1、D2With the value of θ, This makes it possible to calculate on display base plate each pixel relative to the first axle 110 and the second axle 124 Position and border.See Fig. 7, display base plate 604 will receive filter element 728 First identified pixel 726 of deposition is further along the first axle 110 left shift.This In the case of, filter element 728 offset as shown in 730 from the beginning of elongated row 136, and this Side-play amount is than the side-play amount 732 relevant to the first filter element 710 on display base plate 602 more Greatly.Therefore, this flow process 800, by selecting deposition position, eliminates display base plate 602 and 604 Between difference on relative orientation.Once all substrates in multiple display base plates 120 are the most Through processed, this flow process 800 is terminated.
Due to the difference of the orientation of display base plate 602 and 604, for each identified pixel 702-708 selects deposition position 700 to be encouraged to make color filter element 710-716 in pixel Layout consecutive variations.
In one embodiment, respective size based on pixel 702-708 and filter element 710-722 Required covering, the threshold value being stored in storage 354 can be determined in advance.Such as, if depositing position Spacing between putting is 10.6 μm, and pixel size on the first direction of principal axis is 70 μm and by filtering Optical element covers the elemental area of 60%, then this threshold value can be set to about 5 μm.Therefore, Once filter element reaches 5 μm relative to the deviation at center, and filter element is just by along the shaft towards pixel Center moves back 10.6 μm.In other examples, spacing between deposition position, pixel Size and/or filter element cover the area of pixel can be more smaller or greater than above-mentioned value and permissible Correspondingly select threshold value.For example, with reference to Fig. 2, this threshold value can be chosen as with pixel 200 not by The region 210 covered is proportional.In one embodiment, this threshold value can be the most selected Select: distribute an initial threshold, utilize this selected initial threshold to process more than one display Substrate, the imaging artefacts of display that then inspection institute obtains or other defect.Can use subsequently Different threshold values repeats this flow process, until obtaining a required result.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 7, along the second axle 124 deposition position interval with along the The interval of the deposition position of one axle 110 is identical, and therefore similar to flow process 800 flow process can be by Implement to select deposition position along the second axle.In other embodiments, the deposition position of the second axle Deposition position interval that can be more axial than the first is tightr.
See above Fig. 2, in the example of shown display base plate, blue filter element 204 quilt It is set to adjacent with green filter element 202.Perform this flow process 800 so that filter element 204 There is identical continuous dislocation therefore there is the arrangement pattern of corresponding rule, and such pattern can To strengthen the pattern being already present in during filter element 202 is arranged.Therefore, in a second embodiment, This flow process 800 could be implemented such that being arranged in multiple color filter materials of filter element 204 Various between change, thus destroy the reinforcement of any regular pattern of generation.In some circumstances, Such change can also weaken the effect that this pattern is relevant to color filter element 202, because totally Pattern frequency may be increased thus lower the eyes of user and distinguish the ability of obtained pattern.This The change of sample can be by carving some filter element from common center position in pixel coverage Meaning ground offsets and is introduced into, and so this continuous print displacement result in the layout of filter element 204 Pattern shift.Same skew can also be employed in the layout of red filter element 206.
In the 3rd embodiment of the flow process of the module 406 shown in Fig. 4, an extra step is permissible It is added in this flow process 800, to introduce a random change in by the threshold value read in module 802 Amount.For the combination at the interval of some pixel sizes, the coverage rate of filter element and/or deposition position, The continuous moving performing the filter element layout that the flow process 800 shown in Fig. 8 can occur will cause the unit that filters Regular pattern in part layout, the eyes of the mankind are very sensitive to this as described above.Due to The continuous moving of the layout of filter element and the relevant movement produced when performing this flow process 800, threshold The stochastic variable of value will destroy the regular pattern occurred in filter element is arranged.An embodiment In, this stochastic variable can be set to proportional to this threshold value, such as, is 5 μm for threshold value Situation, this stochastic variable is ± 40% or ± 2 μm, this therefore can make arrange threshold value from one group of bag Include in the threshold value of 3 μm, 5 μm and 7 μm and be selected randomly.Can be based on relevant to operating system Connection random number generator generate random digit and realize this random choosing from one group of threshold value Selecting, it is by first module of the program code 320 of the program storage 304 shown in Fig. 3 Operating system code performs.
This second and third embodiments described above can also be combined application, thus for different coloured silks Color filter element 202-206 offset pattern the most also introduces random change in the layout of filter element Amount, thus destroy contingent arrangement pattern extraly.Alternatively, shown in Fig. 4 at this stream At the module 404 of journey 400, identify that the pixel receiving filter element can include identifying randomly many Individual pixel 200 receives a kind of pixel in multiple color filter materials.In this embodiment, The filter element of each color obtained will be scattered on each display base plate randomly, from And destroy owing to issuable pattern arranged by filter element.The position of this randomized filter element will Need to be supplied to the display driver relevant to display base plate so that for each corresponding colored filter Optical element can encourage correct pixel.
Although the stochastic variable in filter element is arranged is by module 802 in this embodiment The threshold value that place reads introduces a stochastic variable and completes, but in other embodiments, so Random arrangement variable can be introduced into other positions in this flow process 800.Such as, module 808 Microprocessor 302 can be guided to introduce the random value independent of threshold value.Other the reality being described herein as Executing and can also introduce a random arrangement variable in example to destroy regular pattern, this regular pattern occurs to exist During filter element in above-mentioned identified pixel on each display base plate is arranged.
Similarly, the most in certain embodiments, filter element will be formed on glass substrate or example On other substrates of plastics, this substrate is directed at display base plate subsequently, and color filter element is permissible Utilize the system 100 shown in Fig. 1 to be formed or can utilize replacement such as photoetching for forming filter The technique of optical element is formed.In further processing steps, filter element described herein is arranged In the introducing of stochastic variable can be used to destroy regular pattern, this regular pattern is likely being formed at Filter element on glass substrate occurs punctual with display.Such pattern may be by filter element Misalignment between substrate and the underlying pixels of display and cause.When glass colour light filter is placed on During the top of display, stochastic variable can operationally destroy by color filter element and display The pattern that deviation of the alignment between pixel causes.Such pattern can be by display picture element and the unit that filters Aliasing between two patterns of part causes, as colored optical filtering substrates and display base plate are connected to each other Time presented as.This stochastic variable can help reduce such pattern and relax alignment precision Requirement.
The reset of digital imaging system
In above-mentioned flow process 800, when the processing of the first display base plate 602 starts, imaging head 108 Can be positioned along the first axle according to the orientation information read at module 804, so that elongated row 136 It is aligned, to deposit filter element in pixel 702-708 on display base plate and other pixels Material.Such alignment can provide at the first axle linear electric motors 112 and relevant coding scale 114 Precision in be done.In one embodiment, arrange accuracy can be about ± 3 μm and Code distinguishability can be less than ± 1 μm.Therefore, module 808 can include determining that and apply this right Accurate extra step.But, when processing not accurately being directed at display base plate 602 subsequently When display base plate compares display base plate 604 as shown in Figure 7, these elongated row are likely not to have optimally It is directed at the pixel of second substrate.Although skew 730 can correct some between substrate 602 and 604 The deviation of alignment, but still can at least half of residue of spacing between remaining adjacent deposition position Side-play amount.
See Fig. 9, in an alternative embodiment of this flow process 800 shown in Fig. 7, at display After depositing filter element on substrate 602, be equivalent to remain by being upwardly formed in the side of the first axle 110 The thin tail sheep 900 of remaining side-play amount, imaging head 108 can be reset.Deposition process at filter element In, this photohead 108 is shifted on the direction of the second axle 124 relative to substrate, and by multiple Position imaging head 108 eliminates the residual migration caused by the elongated row of imaging 136, thus forms one The elongated row of imaging 902 of skew.Thus the elongated row of imaging 902 offset by and sink less than or equal to adjacent The distance of the half of spacing between long-pending position, and be directed at the pixel 726 of display base plate 604.
In order to accelerate the speed of filter element deposition in digital imaging system 100, at the second direction of principal axis On speed may be about 2m/s or bigger.For the 20mm between display base plate 602 and 604 Spacing, the time being available for displacement is about 10 milliseconds, therefore in view of the phase of linear electric motors 112 Closing stabilization time, the skew for 5 μm on the first direction of principal axis needs about 0.2m/s2Acceleration Degree.This acceleration and for eliminating the whole deviation institutes between the skew 730 and 732 shown in Fig. 7 The acceleration needed is compared and be may differ by relatively greatly, and the latter may be much larger.In some cases, display Between substrate, the difference of orientation is likely to be breached 1mm, above-mentioned under conditions of only by reset imaging head 108 Correct this difference and would require about 40m/s2Acceleration.Correspondingly, the reality of the flow process shown in Fig. 9 Execute example and provide one when correct arbitrary residual migration by making imaging head move to lesser extent Amount offsets the combination of digital mask simultaneously, and owing to requiring relatively low to the acceleration of the first axle, it can be more easy to In realization.
The above-described embodiment described in conjunction with Fig. 9, describes imaging head 108, and this imaging head 108 is becoming As not moving on the first axle 110 during each display base plate.But, the display base shown in Fig. 9 Each having the anglec of rotation about the second axle 124 in plate 602 and 604, it causes Continuous shifting in arranging in pixel above in connection with the color filter element described by flow process 800 Dynamic.In another embodiment, above-mentioned reset can be with the imaging head 108 on the first direction of principal axis Slow scanning combine to also compensate for the rotation of this display base plate 602 and 604, thus reduce with After pixel on filter element between continuous moving.
Such as, for having a display base plate of the second axle relative displacement of 2m/s, Coordinate the collaborative scanning of anglec of rotation θ=0.5 °, it would be desirable to the 0.017m/s on the first direction of principal axis sweeps Retouch speed.Linear electric motors 112 and controller 140 have the time of about 10 milliseconds and start this change Changing, this needs an about 3.4m/s2Acceleration.Such acceleration is for as overall in Fig. 1 Shown accurate flat panel imaging system is also rational.
But, in other embodiments, the anglec of rotation relevant to display base plate may be substantially higher than 0.5 °, it is therefore desirable to bigger gap is set between this display, thus the sufficient time is provided Adapt to the synergy movement between display to display.Alternately, if between display This gap is limited, then must be provided higher acceleration by the first axle linear electric motors 112, it can Cost and the complexity of this first axle linear actuator can be increased.
Generally, the relative displacement on the second direction of principal axis between display base plate and digital imaging system The first time included on the direction being directed at the second axle 124 is passed through and with first time by opposite direction Direction on second time by or pass back through.In certain embodiments, when changing the direction of motion So that when second time is by middle deposition filter element, imaging head 108 offsets elongated row 136 width Distance, thus improve yield.In other embodiments, the optical filtering deposited by period in second time Element can be sufficiently different from the filter element deposited by period for the first time, and in this feelings Can only be deposited by period for the first time under condition.With reference to Figure 10, in another interchangeable enforcement In example, by the most in the first pass along elongated row 1000 at some display base selected Deposit filter element on plate (such as substrate 602 and 606), subsequently second time pass through in approximately along Elongated row 1000 to remaining display base plate (such as substrate 604) imaging, can increase and be used for The time of imaging head 108 is accelerated between display.One associated advantages of this embodiment is as above State distance 1002 that the imaging head 108 described in Fig. 9 embodiment can be accelerated in order to reset by significantly Increase.This reduce the demand to acceleration and provide the more time in the first axle side Stable and the initialization of scanning speed upwards.In the embodiment shown in fig. 10, imaging head 108 It is initially positioned with deposition optical filtering on display base plate 602 in for the first time by elongated row 1000 Element, and subsequently period in traversing distance 1002 be reset, such as above-mentioned Fig. 9 embodiment, institute is big Cause description.Subsequently, filter element is deposited on substrate 606, and the imaging when completing this deposition Head is for the first time being decelerated by the motion on direction and imaging head passes through quilt on direction in second time Accelerate to image taking speed.Therefore, distance 1004 is available, imaging head 108 between distance 1004 Image taking speed can be accelerated on the second axle 124 and accelerate on the first axle 110, so that The reset for imaging display substrate 604 can be realized by period in second time.For typically Display base plate size and the setting on chuck 116, this embodiment embodiment relative to Fig. 9 Further reduce acceleration required on the first axle 110.
The step quilt once along elongated row 1000, filter element being deposited on display base plate 604 Complete, then distance 1006 moves to the position of next elongated row 1008 for making imaging head 108 It is available.Deposition for the filter element of elongated row 1008 can be done in the same fashion.
Embodiment shown in Figure 10 can be used for having at least two display along the second axle 124 In the configuration of substrate, but it configures equally applicable for having other number of substrates any. Although in Fig. 10, this embodiment has been described as the deposition of filter element and occurs to pass through for the first time The display of period odd number and at the second time display by period even number, but other display base plate The configuration not arranged regularly still can be implemented, such as, be removed at some display In the case of.
Staggered
According to Figure 11, it is shown that alternatively deposit embodiment, it can be tied with several above-described embodiments Close.In this embodiment, the deposition along the filter element of elongated row 1100 occurs at imaging head The first time of 108 by each in the display base plate 602,604 and 606 of period, but In passing through for the first time, only deposition position every one is energized.Therefore, the phase can be passed through for the first time Between deposit incomplete filter element.In second time by period, by being swashed by period in second time Encouraging the suitable deposition position along elongated row 1100, this filter element remainder is filled.
Alternatively, when completing to pass through for the first time, imaging head can move across between deposition position Spacing, imaging head to be directed at the second elongated row 1102, and in second time by period, pass through Encouraging the suitable deposition position in elongated row 1102, the remainder of filter element will be filled.
The advantage of above-mentioned staggered deposition configuration is to make each filter element at the two of imaging head 108 Individual in opposite direction pass through in deposited, therefore reduce for the first time by and between second time passes through The impact of deposition difference, as discussed above concerning described in the embodiment of Figure 10.It addition, some Imaging system and/or medium cause colorant to be transferred to illy on display, such as in filter element When producing imaging solid area, this phenomenon may be especially pronounced.This above-mentioned intertonguing is equally Reduce such impact.
In the description above, this interlocks and is described as based on single deposition position, but at other In embodiment, this interlocks and can relate to more than one deposition position.
Filter element shapes
Substantially describing above-described embodiment together with imaging system, this imaging system is configured to produce the The deposition position that on one axle and the second axle, size is similar.But, as described above about KodakThe example of imaging head, the light beam 128 of generation has substantially rectangular cross section, and Can be controlled to be used on the second direction of principal axis to sink higher than precision possible on the first direction of principal axis Long-pending filter.
See Figure 12, in an alternate embodiment, imaging head 108 be configured to supply along Second deposition position 1200 of the second axle 124, the second deposition position 1200 ratio is along the first of the first axle Deposition position interval is tightr.As shown in figure 12, identified pixel 1202 respectively at the first axle and There is on second direction of principal axis the first relevant axle border and the second axle border.Under these conditions, filter Element can be more accurate along the layout of the first axle 110 compared to filter element along arranging of the second axle 124 Ground is controlled.In this embodiment, the module 808 of the flow process 800 shown in Fig. 8 can be implemented For making selection difference on the first axle 110 and the second axle 124 of deposition position.An embodiment In, the deposition position of the first axle is selected as the first axle limit at filter element 1204 with pixel 1202 Bigger spacing is provided between boundary 1206 and 1208.In the embodiment shown in fig. 12, pixel 1202 In deposition position more than one not selected, it can be contrasted with the embodiment shown in Fig. 7, The deposition position being the most only adjacent to pixel boundary in Fig. 7 is not selected.But It is that, in most embodiment, deposited filter element should meet coverage criteria, such as mesh Mark area coverage, so that have essentially identical compared with each pixel pixel identical with other color Brightness.Then, as the compensation of spacing bigger on the first axle 110 direction, along the second axle 124 The second deposition position be selected as between filter element and the second axle border 1210 and 1212 arrange The spacing reduced, the selection of such first and second deposition positions combines and meets and pixel 1202 The interior relevant coverage criteria of filter element 1204.This embodiment can also be with the reality other described Execute example to combine, such as, combine the embodiment described by Fig. 9-11.
Embodiment shown in Figure 12 is further helpful at filter element on the first axle and the second axle Layout in introduce stochastic variable, with destroy filter element arrange in produce regular pattern, these rule Then pattern is because selecting by arranging bigger spacing between filter element 1204 and the first axle border Select deposition position and produce.Because the deposition accuracy on the second direction of principal axis has exceeded the heavy of the first axle Long-pending precision, so filter element is placed along the first axle 110 cloth more accurately along the second axle 124 Stochastic variable in putting provides bigger degree of freedom.
In other embodiments, during stochastic variable be directed into identified pixel subsequently In the spacing on the first axle border 1206 and 1208.Such stochastic variable can be by along the second axle 124 Select the second deposition position to be compensated, thus meet the coverage criteria relevant to filter element.Although In described embodiment, disclosed filter element substantially rectangular in shape;But the embodiment at other In the shape of this filter element can have the shape in addition to square or rectangle, the most irregularly Shape.
The regulation of deposition filter element
The filter element using any of above embodiment to deposit may make the optical filtering unit being transferred Part has coarse surface texture.Owing to the transfer from donor at each deposition position cannot not be probably completely Beautiful, therefore when using thermal transfer donor, this effect is especially apparent.Some are applied, coarse Superficial makings is probably less desirable and may make troubles.Such as, at the colour for display In filter element, coarse surface texture the optical effect caused may cause the imaging that display shows The degeneration of quality.It is believed that reflective display is affected the biggest by such optical effect.
In another embodiments of the invention, once the selectivity of filter element material has deposited Becoming, a further step can be introduced into, and this step includes optionally by deposited optical filtering Material is exposed to LASER HEAT radiation to regulate the deposition of filter element material.Therefore deposited optical filtering unit Part experienced by annealing process, it is believed that this process makes the temperature of filter element material rise To the glass transition temperature of this material, so that this material at least partly refluxes so that coarse Superficial makings smooths.Once this material is cooled, owing to this backflow makes filter element material surface Smoothness is enhanced.
Compared with single annealing steps, the selective control using the controlled lasing light emitter of same imaging can To have several advantage.Introduce single annealing process and can increase extra step in process, also can Relate to extra annealing device.Carry out annealing by the temperature fully improving monolith substrate and be also possible to tool There is the probability of infringement display base plate.These problems can by selective control described herein Being solved, this is owing to the most only color filter element can be raised to the temperature of annealing, thus subtracts The danger that little underlying pixels suffers damage.Additionally, for thermal transfer, be adapted for carrying out swashing of laser transfer Optical wavelength would generally be absorbed well by filter element material, and then can be particularly effectively by filter element Material warms is to annealing temperature.

In the embodiment being adjusted under same laser intensity or power grade, module 1304 can be saved Slightly.
Subsequently, flow process 1300 is continued by module 1306, and this module 1306 guides microprocessor 302 Digital mask information is read in the storage 356 of alterable memory 306.Anneal at the same time all differences In the embodiment of the color filter element of color, the single numeral relevant to each color filter element Mask will need to process extraly, to provide a Combination with Digital mask for all colours.Subsequently, Module 1308 guides microprocessor 302 to generate control signals to control at port 142,144 and 146 Digital imaging system processed thus at deposition position regulate filter element material.
In one embodiment, the lasing light emitter for filter element deposition is also used to perform selectivity exposure Light is to regulate filter element.In other embodiments, another lasing light emitter with different wave length can It is used to perform selectivity expose to regulate filter element.
