СОЗДАНИЕ ИЗОБРАЖЕНИЯ С ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕМ ЛАЗЕРНОГО ИЗЛУЧЕНИЯ

Изобретение относится к способу создания изображения на субстрате, в том числе на тонком гибком субстрате, который может быть использован при изготовлении печатных плат, электронных дисплеев, печатных сенсоров. Способ включает следующие стадии. Вначале на субстрат наносят цветообразующий полиин, способный к активации путем нагревания, который является нереакционноспособным. Далее осуществляют активацию полиина в тех участках субстрата, где должно быть создано изображение. После активации полиин становится реакционноспособным. Затем превращают активированный полиин в его окрашенную форму с получением изображения. Полиин представляет собой амид, образованный первичным амином и диацетиленмоно- или дикарбоновой кислотой. Изобретение позволяет получить любые цветовые изображения на субстратах, а также создать стойкие устройства с печатными электронными схемами, которые могут быть подвергнуты воздействию окружающей среды без изменений в проводимости. 14 з.п. ф-лы, 15 пр.

Platemaking system and method using an imaging mask made from photochromic film

A platemaking system uses an intermediate imaging mask made of a film of photochromic material, preferably bacteriorhodopsin. The film is normally transparent, but it is temporary made opaque by exposure to light of a certain wavelength. An image is formed on the mask using light of the appropriate wavelength, which renders portions of the mask opaque. The mask is then interposed between a photosensitive printing plate and a light source which produces light to which the plate is sensitive, exposing the printing plate and thereby transferring the desired image onto the plate. The described method is preferably implemented using a transparent rotating drum that is coated with a bR film. As the drum rotates past a green or yellow laser, a desired image is written onto the film by the laser's beam. The drum rotates the image until it is opposite a photosensitive printing plate, and a light source inside the drum exposes the plate through the mask to transfer the image. The system preferably includes another light source that is directed onto the formed image after it has been transferred which “erases” the film and thus prepares it to accept a new image.
