Description
本發明係關於使用噴墨噴嘴於玻璃基板上製造彩色濾光片之方法及其裝置。The present invention relates to a method of fabricating a color filter on a glass substrate using an inkjet nozzle and an apparatus therefor.
先前以來,提出有使用噴墨噴嘴於玻璃基板上製造彩色濾光片之方法(參照專利文獻1)。A method of manufacturing a color filter on a glass substrate using an inkjet nozzle has been proposed (refer to Patent Document 1).
具體而言,於透明基板上至少設置有透明著色料吸收層,使應成為不同顏色之像素間的區域為具有抗著色料性之非著色區域,於應成為相同顏色之像素彼此相鄰處,對該應成為相同顏色之複數個像素部分以及像素間區域,無縫隙地賦予著色料,藉此著色而製造彩色濾光片。Specifically, at least a transparent coloring material absorbing layer is provided on the transparent substrate, and a region between pixels which should be different colors is a non-colored region having anti-staining property, and pixels adjacent to the same color are adjacent to each other. A color filter is produced by coloring the plurality of pixel portions and the inter-pixel regions which are to be the same color without any gap.
又,採用對整個畫面以直線狀且平行地進行主掃描而描繪之方法,以應著有相同顏色之像素部排列於與主掃描方向相同之方向的方式設計像素排列,藉此以沿著像素行之直線狀之主掃描而達成整個面之描繪。Further, a method of performing main scanning in a straight line and in parallel on the entire screen is used, and a pixel arrangement is designed such that pixel portions having the same color are arranged in the same direction as the main scanning direction, thereby The main scan of the line is made to achieve the entire surface.
又,提出有以下方法,即,為了使用噴墨噴嘴於玻璃基板上製造彩色濾光片,而藉由第1移動機構於第1方向驅動噴墨頭,藉由第2移動機構使彩色濾光片用基板載置用之載置台於與第1方向不同之第2方向移動,而且,以噴嘴沿著濾光片元件之縱行的方式使第1移動機構移動,且以自噴嘴所噴出之墨滴於濾光片元件內重合之噴出週期及噴墨頭之移動速度,控制噴出週期、第1移動機構及第2移動機構(參照專利文獻2)。Further, in order to manufacture a color filter on a glass substrate using an inkjet nozzle, the first moving mechanism drives the inkjet head in the first direction, and the color filter is filtered by the second moving mechanism. The mounting table for the sheet substrate is moved in the second direction different from the first direction, and the first moving mechanism is moved by the nozzle along the longitudinal direction of the filter element, and is ejected from the nozzle. The ejection cycle in which the ink droplets overlap in the filter element and the moving speed of the inkjet head control the ejection cycle, the first moving mechanism, and the second moving mechanism (see Patent Document 2).
[專利文獻1]日本專利特開平9-68611號公報[專利文獻2]日本專利特開平10-260307號公報[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 9-68611 (Patent Document 2) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 10-260307
於採用專利文獻1之方法之情形時,即對各不同的畫面尺寸進行處理之情形時,針對畫面尺寸之不同而間距不同,故噴墨噴嘴與像素之中央部一致的概率變低,其結果為,存在導致噴墨頭之掃描次數變多、整體之塗佈所須要之時間變長之問題。When the method of Patent Document 1 is used, that is, when different screen sizes are processed, the pitch differs depending on the screen size, so that the probability that the inkjet nozzle coincides with the central portion of the pixel becomes low, and the result is low. Therefore, there is a problem that the number of times of scanning of the ink jet head is increased, and the time required for the entire coating is prolonged.
為了解決如此之問題,考慮藉由使噴墨頭旋轉來改變噴墨噴嘴之間距,但是存在步驟安排變更花費較多時間之問題。In order to solve such a problem, it is considered that the distance between the ink-jet nozzles is changed by rotating the ink-jet head, but there is a problem that it takes a long time to arrange the change of the steps.
又,作為近年來之趨勢,存在彩色濾光片之大型化、形成有彩色濾光片之玻璃基板之大型化,於如此彩色濾光片、玻璃基板大型化之情形時,如專利文獻1般採用對整個畫面以直線狀且平行地進行主掃描而描繪之方法,以應著有相同顏色之像素部排列於與主掃描方向相同之方向的方式而設計像素排列之情形時,亦存在以下問題,即,難以遍及主掃描之整個範圍以使將自噴墨噴嘴所噴出之彩色材料塗佈於像素區域之中央部的方式進行定位,實際上,未對一部分像素區域塗佈所需之彩色材料,結果導致製造次品之可能性增加。In addition, as a trend of the recent years, the size of the color filter is increased, and the size of the glass substrate on which the color filter is formed is increased. When the color filter or the glass substrate is enlarged, as in Patent Document 1, When the main screen is drawn in a straight line and in parallel, and the entire screen is drawn in such a manner that the pixel portions having the same color are arranged in the same direction as the main scanning direction, the following problems are also caused. That is, it is difficult to spread the entire range of the main scanning so that the color material ejected from the inkjet nozzle is applied to the central portion of the pixel region, and in fact, a part of the pixel region is not coated with the desired color material. As a result, the possibility of manufacturing defective products increases.
於採用專利文獻2之方法之情形時,為了對各不同之畫面尺寸進行處理,針對畫面尺寸之不同而間距不同,故噴墨噴嘴與像素之中央部一致之概率變低,其結果為,存在導致噴墨頭之掃描次數變多、整體之塗佈所須要之時間變長之問題。In the case of the method of Patent Document 2, in order to process different screen sizes, the pitch differs depending on the screen size, so that the probability that the ink jet nozzle coincides with the central portion of the pixel becomes low, and as a result, there is This causes a problem that the number of times of scanning of the ink jet head increases, and the time required for the entire coating becomes long.
又,如專利文獻2之圖4所示,對整個畫面以直線狀且平行地進行主掃描而描繪,以應著有相同顏色之像素部排列於與主掃描方向相同之方向的方式而設計像素排列,因此於彩色濾光片、玻璃基板大型化之情形時,存在以下問題,即,難以遍及主掃描之整個範圍以使將自噴墨噴嘴所噴出之彩色材料塗佈於像素區域之中央部的方式進行定位,實際上,未對一部分像素區域塗佈所需之彩色材料,結果導致製造次品之可能性增加。Further, as shown in FIG. 4 of Patent Document 2, the entire screen is drawn in a straight line and in parallel, and the pixels are designed such that the pixel portions having the same color are arranged in the same direction as the main scanning direction. When the color filter or the glass substrate is enlarged, there is a problem in that it is difficult to apply the color material ejected from the ink jet nozzle to the central portion of the pixel region over the entire range of the main scanning. The way to position, in fact, does not apply a portion of the pixel area to the desired color material, resulting in an increased likelihood of manufacturing a defective product.
進而,兩個移動機構必須高精度,因此導致整體成本上升。Furthermore, the two moving mechanisms must be highly accurate, thus causing an increase in overall cost.
本發明係鑒於上述問題點開發而成者,且目的在於提供一種不論畫面尺寸,不論玻璃基板之大型化,均可將自噴墨噴嘴所噴出之彩色材料塗佈於像素區域之中央部的彩色濾光片製造方法及其裝置。The present invention has been developed in view of the above problems, and an object of the invention is to provide a color which can apply a color material ejected from an ink jet nozzle to a central portion of a pixel region regardless of a screen size regardless of an increase in size of a glass substrate.

Thereby, the alignment of the glass substrate 2 can be achieved.

該噴墨頭橫桿5係使複數個噴墨頭51排列而成者,且各噴墨頭51係使複數個噴墨噴嘴52排列而成者。而且,以使所有噴墨噴嘴52於X方向之間隔、於Y方向之間隔分別為特定間隔的方式,設定複數個噴墨頭51之排列。The ink jet head rail 5 is formed by arranging a plurality of ink jet heads 51, and each of the ink jet heads 51 is formed by arranging a plurality of ink jet nozzles 52. Further, the arrangement of the plurality of ink jet heads 51 is set such that the intervals of the ink jet nozzles 52 in the X direction and the intervals in the Y direction are respectively at a specific interval.
再者,噴墨噴嘴52以特定個數為單位斜向地排列,因此藉由一面於X方向驅動塗佈支架4,一面使噴墨噴嘴52依次動作,可以使之直線地排列於Y方向之狀態而塗佈彩色材料。Further, since the inkjet nozzles 52 are arranged obliquely in a specific number of units, the inkjet nozzles 52 are sequentially operated while the coating holder 4 is driven in the X direction, so that they can be linearly arranged in the Y direction. The color material is coated in a state.
圖2所示之噴墨頭橫桿5係用以塗佈紅色(R)、綠色(G)、藍色(B)之彩色材料之任一種顏色者,雖未特別圖示,但亦可設置用以塗佈其他彩色材料之噴墨頭橫桿。The inkjet head rail 5 shown in FIG. 2 is used to apply any one of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) color materials, and may be provided, although not specifically shown.

圖6係說明彩色濾光片製造處理之流程圖。Fig. 6 is a flow chart showing the process of manufacturing a color filter.
於步驟SP1中,藉由未圖示之搬入機器人等將玻璃基板2搬入吸附平臺3之後,於步驟SP2中,藉由未圖示之外形規制機構,達成玻璃基板2之大致之定位。而且,於步驟SP3中,利用吸附平臺3吸附玻璃基板2,其後,於步驟SP4中,使攝像機支架6往程移動,於步驟SP5中,藉由對準攝像機7、8檢測玻璃基板2之對準標記,進行Y方向、θ方向之定位,藉此達成玻璃基板2之對準,於步驟SP6中,使攝像機支架6返程移動。In the step SP1, the glass substrate 2 is carried into the adsorption stage 3 by a loading robot or the like (not shown), and in step SP2, the positioning of the glass substrate 2 is achieved by a shape regulating mechanism (not shown). Further, in step SP3, the glass substrate 2 is adsorbed by the adsorption platform 3, and thereafter, in step SP4, the camera holder 6 is moved forward, and in step SP5, the glass substrate 2 is detected by the alignment cameras 7, 8. The alignment marks are positioned in the Y direction and the θ direction to achieve alignment of the glass substrate 2, and in step SP6, the camera holder 6 is moved back.
其次,於步驟SP7中,使塗佈支架4往程移動/返程移動,並且輸出X座標值,於步驟SP8中,根據X座標值判定塗佈是否進行至終端為止。Next, in step SP7, the coating holder 4 is moved forward/returned, and the X coordinate value is output. In step SP8, it is determined whether or not the coating is performed to the terminal based on the X coordinate value.
又,與該處理分開,於步驟SP16中,輸入噴墨噴嘴52之孔的位置資訊(座標值),於步驟SP17中,輸入玻璃基板2上之所有像素之位置資訊(座標值),於步驟SP18中,輸入其他參數(例如,考慮到彩色材料之噴出速度、相對的移動速度、控制系統之延遲等而規定之偏移值)。而且,於步驟SP19中,進行資料表之運算,於步驟SP20中,將運算結果儲存於噴出資料表中。Further, in addition to the processing, in step SP16, the position information (coordinate value) of the hole of the ink jet nozzle 52 is input, and in step SP17, the position information (coordinate value) of all the pixels on the glass substrate 2 is input, in step In SP18, other parameters are input (for example, an offset value specified in consideration of a discharge speed of a color material, a relative moving speed, a delay of a control system, etc.). Further, in step SP19, the calculation of the data table is performed, and in step SP20, the calculation result is stored in the discharge data table.
圖7係表示噴出資料表之一例的圖,設定有塗佈掃描次數、塗佈方向像素編號、塗佈方向像素位置、噴嘴行、塗佈支架X座標值、所有噴嘴之噴出圖案。再者,X0係初始移動量,Pg係Y方向之像素間距,L1~Ln係噴嘴行塗佈方向間隔,m係塗佈方向之像素之編號。初始移動量X0、像素間距Pg如圖3所示。圖3係表示僅塗佈有紅色(R)彩色材料之狀態,且至X方向之第1個像素為止之距離係初始移動量X0,X方向之塗佈有紅色(R)彩色材料的像素之間隔係像素間距Pg。Fig. 7 is a view showing an example of a discharge data table, in which the number of coating scans, the coating direction pixel number, the coating direction pixel position, the nozzle row, the coating holder X coordinate value, and the ejection pattern of all the nozzles are set. Further, X0 is the initial movement amount, the Pg is the pixel pitch in the Y direction, the L1 to Ln nozzle row application direction interval, and the m-system coating direction pixel number. The initial movement amount X0 and the pixel pitch Pg are as shown in FIG. 3 shows a state in which only a red (R) color material is applied, and the distance from the first pixel in the X direction is the initial movement amount X0, and the pixel in the X direction is coated with a red (R) color material. The spacing is the pixel pitch Pg.
而且,當於步驟SP8中判定為塗佈未進行至終端為止之情形時,於步驟SP13中,將塗佈支架4之X座標輸出值與噴出資料表進行比較,於步驟SP14中,判定X座標值與噴出資料是否一致,若X座標值與噴出資料一致,則於步驟SP15中,使噴墨噴嘴52動作而噴出墨水。Further, when it is determined in step SP8 that the coating has not proceeded to the terminal, in step SP13, the X coordinate output value of the coating holder 4 is compared with the discharge data table, and in step SP14, the X coordinate is determined. Whether the value coincides with the discharge data, and if the X coordinate value coincides with the discharge data, the ink ejection nozzle 52 is operated to eject the ink in step SP15.
圖5係說明上述處理之概略圖。Fig. 5 is a schematic view showing the above processing.
為了噴出而使作為塗佈對象之像素區域與X座標值一致之噴墨噴嘴52動作,不使其他噴墨噴嘴52動作,藉此將墨水塗佈於作為塗佈對象之像素區域。具體而言,一面使噴墨噴嘴52相對於玻璃基板2而相對地移動一面塗佈彩色材料,因此考慮彩色材料之噴出速度、相對的移動速度、控制系統之延遲等而規定之偏移值,考慮上述偏移值而控制用以噴出之噴墨噴嘴52。In order to eject, the inkjet nozzle 52 that is the target pixel region and the X coordinate value are operated, and the ink is applied to the pixel region to be coated without operating the other inkjet nozzles 52. Specifically, the ink jet nozzle 52 is coated with the color material while moving relative to the glass substrate 2, and thus the offset value specified by the discharge speed of the color material, the relative moving speed, the delay of the control system, and the like is considered. The ink jet nozzle 52 for ejecting is controlled in consideration of the above offset value.
又,圖4係說明Y方向之噴墨噴嘴52之控制的概略圖。再者,該處理未示於流程圖,而示於圖7中。4 is a schematic view for explaining control of the ink jet nozzle 52 in the Y direction. Again, this process is not shown in the flowchart, but is shown in FIG.
使覆蓋Y座標範圍之至少一部分的噴墨噴嘴52不動作,上述Y座標範圍表示玻璃基板2之於X方向延伸之黑色矩陣之寬度,並且為了噴出而使進入作為塗佈對象的像素區域之整個Y座標範圍之噴墨噴嘴52動作,藉此將墨水塗佈於作為塗佈對象之像素區域。The inkjet nozzle 52 covering at least a part of the Y coordinate range is not operated, and the Y coordinate range indicates the width of the black matrix extending in the X direction of the glass substrate 2, and enters the entire pixel region to be coated for ejection. The inkjet nozzle 52 of the Y coordinate range operates to apply ink to the pixel region to be coated.
而且,當於步驟SP14中判定為X座標值與噴出資料不一致之情形時,或於進行步驟SP15之處理之情形時,再次進行步驟SP7之處理。Further, when it is determined in step SP14 that the X coordinate value does not coincide with the ejection data, or when the processing of step SP15 is performed, the processing of step SP7 is performed again.
又,當於步驟SP8中判定為塗佈進行至終端為止之情形時,於步驟SP9中,判定是否進行特定次數之塗佈。Moreover, when it is determined in step SP8 that the application is performed until the terminal is reached, it is determined in step SP9 whether or not coating is performed a certain number of times.
當於步驟SP9中判定為塗佈次數未達到特定次數之情形時,於步驟12中,使噴墨頭橫桿5於Y方向上移動,再次進行步驟SP7之處理。再者,Y方向之移動距離,例如,可為由欲塗佈於1個像素區域之彩色材料之液滴的數量而決定之距離,亦可為對該距離加上Y方向之像素間距之整數倍後所得的距離。為後者之情形時,噴墨噴嘴對不同的像素噴出墨水,因此即使著落痕跡之尺寸針對每個噴墨噴嘴而有差異,亦可使整體平均化。此處,若設定噴墨頭橫桿5之塗佈區域大於玻璃基板2之塗佈區域,則即使如後者般使噴墨頭橫桿5移動,亦可順利地將彩色材料塗佈於所有像素。When it is determined in step SP9 that the number of times of application has not reached the specific number of times, in step 12, the head rail 5 is moved in the Y direction, and the processing of step SP7 is performed again. Further, the moving distance in the Y direction may be, for example, a distance determined by the number of liquid droplets of the color material to be applied to one pixel region, or may be an integer of the pixel pitch of the distance plus the Y direction. The distance obtained after the double. In the latter case, the ink jet nozzle ejects ink to different pixels, so that even if the size of the landing mark differs for each ink jet nozzle, the whole can be averaged. Here, if the application area of the inkjet head rail 5 is set larger than the coating area of the glass substrate 2, even if the inkjet head rail 5 is moved as in the latter, the color material can be smoothly applied to all the pixels. .
又,當於步驟SP9中判定為進行了特定次數之塗佈之情形時,於步驟SP10中,結束塗佈處理,於步驟SP11中,藉由未圖示之搬出機器人等搬出玻璃基板2,直接結束一系列處理。When it is determined in step SP9 that the application has been performed for a certain number of times, the coating process is terminated in step SP10, and in step SP11, the glass substrate 2 is carried out by a carry-out robot or the like (not shown). End a series of processing.
若概括以上內容,則如下:於將玻璃基板2搬入吸附平臺3之後,使攝像機支架6往程移動而檢測玻璃基板2之對準標記,根據檢測結果使吸附平臺3動作,藉此達成玻璃基板2之對準。其後,使攝像機支架6返程移動。When the above is summarized, after the glass substrate 2 is carried into the adsorption stage 3, the camera holder 6 is moved forward to detect the alignment mark of the glass substrate 2, and the adsorption stage 3 is operated according to the detection result, thereby realizing the glass substrate. 2 alignment. Thereafter, the camera holder 6 is moved back.
其次,使塗佈支架4往程移動而進行第1次往程塗佈。Next, the coating holder 4 is moved forward to perform the first coating.
其後,以使塗佈支架4於Y方向稍微移動之狀態而返程移動,藉此進行第1次返程塗佈,該期間,使攝像機支架6往程移動,藉由掃描攝像機9進行玻璃基板2之像素區域內之彩色材料之著落痕跡的檢查,其後,使攝像機支架6返程移動。Thereafter, the coating holder 4 is moved backward in a state of being slightly moved in the Y direction, thereby performing the first return coating, during which the camera holder 6 is moved forward, and the glass substrate 2 is moved by the scanning camera 9. The inspection of the landing marks of the color material in the pixel area, and thereafter, the camera holder 6 is moved back.
其後,以使塗佈支架4於Y方向稍微移動之狀態而往程移動,藉此進行第2次往程塗佈。Thereafter, the coating holder 4 is moved in a state of being slightly moved in the Y direction, thereby performing the second forward coating.
其後,以使塗佈支架4於Y方向稍微移動之狀態而返程移動,藉此進行第2次返程塗佈。Thereafter, the coating holder 4 is moved back in a state of being slightly moved in the Y direction, whereby the second return coating is performed.
其後,停止玻璃基板2之吸附保持,自吸附平臺3搬出玻璃基板2。其後,藉由反覆進行上述一系列處理,可製造所需張數之彩色濾光片。Thereafter, the adsorption and holding of the glass substrate 2 are stopped, and the glass substrate 2 is carried out from the adsorption stage 3. Thereafter, by performing the above-described series of processes in reverse, a desired number of color filters can be produced.
亦即,於進行一次彩色材料之塗佈之情形時,以與噴墨噴嘴52彼此之間隔相等的間隔附著彩色材料,因此不會形成為連續塗佈彩色材料之狀態。In other words, when the color material is applied once, the color material is attached at intervals equal to the interval between the ink jet nozzles 52, and thus the state in which the color material is continuously applied is not formed.
然而,於進行上述一系列處理之情形時,使Y方向之位置稍微變化而進行塗佈,因此,最終如圖3所示,可於相當於玻璃基板2上所形成之黑色矩陣21的像素區域22內,連續塗佈彩色材料23。However, in the case of performing the above-described series of processes, the position in the Y direction is slightly changed and applied, and finally, as shown in FIG. 3, the pixel region corresponding to the black matrix 21 formed on the glass substrate 2 can be used. Within 22, the color material 23 is continuously applied.
根據以上說明可知,可一面使噴墨頭橫桿5進行相對的移動,一面控制噴墨噴嘴52之動作時序,因此可於相當於玻璃基板2上所形成之黑色矩陣21之像素區域22內,可靠地塗佈彩色材料。As can be understood from the above description, the timing of the operation of the inkjet nozzles 52 can be controlled while the inkjet head rails 5 are relatively moved. Therefore, the pixel regions 22 corresponding to the black matrix 21 formed on the glass substrate 2 can be used. Reliably coating colored materials.
例如,於噴墨噴嘴52之間距為80 μm,像素尺寸為70~100 μm×200~300 μm,黑色矩陣之寬度為30 μm,噴墨噴嘴52之噴出週期為10 kHz以上之情形時,且於以300 μm{(70 μm+30 μm)×3}間距塗佈彩色材料之情形時,使相對掃描速度為210 mm/s,藉此能以10 kHz驅動所有噴墨噴嘴52而進行彩色材料之塗佈。又,於像素尺寸改變之情形時,可藉由調整掃描速度而容易地處理。For example, when the distance between the inkjet nozzles 52 is 80 μm, the pixel size is 70 to 100 μm × 200 to 300 μm, the width of the black matrix is 30 μm, and the ejection period of the inkjet nozzle 52 is 10 kHz or more, In the case of coating a color material at a pitch of 300 μm{(70 μm+30 μm)×3}, the relative scanning speed is 210 mm/s, whereby all the inkjet nozzles 52 can be driven at 10 kHz for color material coating. cloth. Moreover, when the pixel size is changed, it can be easily processed by adjusting the scanning speed.
進而,與噴墨頭橫桿5之相對之移動方向正交之方向的像素尺寸為200~300 μm,可對自噴墨噴嘴52所噴出之彩色材料之液滴確保足夠大的範圍。又,噴墨頭橫桿5之相對之移動方向之像素尺寸為70~100 μm,自噴墨噴嘴52所噴出之彩色材料之液滴所對應的範圍變小,高精度地控制使噴墨噴嘴52動作之時序。其結果為,可於相當於玻璃基板2上所形成之黑色矩陣21之像素區域22內可靠地塗佈彩色材料。Further, the pixel size in the direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the ink jet head rail 5 is 200 to 300 μm, and a sufficiently large range can be secured for the liquid droplets of the color material ejected from the ink jet nozzle 52. Further, the pixel size of the relative movement direction of the ink jet head rail 5 is 70 to 100 μm, and the range corresponding to the droplet of the color material ejected from the ink jet nozzle 52 becomes small, and the ink jet nozzle is controlled with high precision. The timing of 52 actions. As a result, the color material can be reliably applied in the pixel region 22 corresponding to the black matrix 21 formed on the glass substrate 2.
以上,說明了使塗佈支架4相對於吸附平臺2於X方向移動之實施形態,但亦可構成為將塗佈支架4固定,而使吸附平臺3移動。Although the embodiment in which the coating holder 4 is moved in the X direction with respect to the adsorption stage 2 has been described above, the application holder 4 may be fixed to move the adsorption stage 3.
又,較好的是,設定吸附平臺3之一邊大於玻璃基板2之長邊,與玻璃基板2之搬入狀態無關,均可使玻璃基板2可靠地吸附於吸附平臺3。Further, it is preferable that one side of the adsorption stage 3 is set larger than the long side of the glass substrate 2, and the glass substrate 2 can be reliably adsorbed to the adsorption stage 3 regardless of the state in which the glass substrate 2 is carried.
於上述實施形態中,較好的是,與1個像素對向之噴墨噴嘴52之數量N、剩餘噴嘴數量n、噴墨噴嘴52之液滴的每1滴之量Q、上述相對之移動方向之像素內噴出次數M、及塗佈於1個像素之彩色材料之量V具有數1之關係。In the above embodiment, the number N of the ink jet nozzles 52 opposed to one pixel, the number of remaining nozzles n, the amount of droplets per droplet of the ink jet nozzle 52, and the relative movement are preferably. The number M of ejections in the pixel in the direction and the amount V of the color material applied to one pixel have a relationship of several 1.
加以進一步說明。Further explanation.
圖9概略性表示像素區域與液滴之關係。Fig. 9 is a view schematically showing the relationship between a pixel region and a liquid droplet.
於圖中,由a、b表示像素內寸,由c、d表示像素內塗佈區域,由M表示相對之移動方向之液滴數量(相對移動方向液滴數量),由N表示與1個像素對向之噴墨噴嘴52之數量(對向噴嘴數量,或對向噴嘴液滴數量)。In the figure, a and b denote the pixel size, c and d denote the coated area in the pixel, and M denotes the number of droplets in the relative moving direction (the number of droplets in the relative moving direction), denoted by N and 1 The number of inkjet nozzles 52 opposite the pixel (the number of opposing nozzles, or the number of opposing nozzle droplets).
又,對應於1個像素之噴墨噴嘴52之總數量係比上述數量N多1個以上之數量,該總數量與上述數量N之差係剩餘噴嘴數量n。因此,用以對1個像素塗佈彩色材料之噴墨噴嘴52之組合之數量i滿足i=N CN-n 。Further, the total number of the inkjet nozzles 52 corresponding to one pixel is one more than the number N, and the difference between the total number and the number N is the number of remaining nozzles n. Therefore, the number i of the combinations of the inkjet nozzles 52 for applying a color material to one pixel satisfies i = N C N-n .
而且,藉由改變用於將彩色材料塗佈於像素(選擇噴出狀態)之噴墨噴嘴52之組合,可使塗佈方向之塗佈不均分散,且可使塗佈不均不明顯。Further, by changing the combination of the ink jet nozzles 52 for applying the color material to the pixels (selected ejection state), the coating in the coating direction can be unevenly dispersed, and the coating unevenness can be made inconspicuous.
於以下條件下實施塗佈測試,即,噴嘴之寬度為25400 μm,噴嘴析像度為1440 dpi,噴嘴間距P為25400/1440=17.6 μm,像素尺寸為a=300 μm,b=100 μm,塗佈區域尺寸為c=220 μm,d=20 μm,對向噴嘴數量N=c/P=220/17.6≒12,相對移動方向液滴數量M為1,像素內塗佈量(像素內之填充量)V為300 pl,液滴的每1滴之量Q為40 pl。The coating test was carried out under the following conditions, that is, the nozzle width was 25400 μm, the nozzle resolution was 1440 dpi, the nozzle pitch P was 25400/1440=17.6 μm, the pixel size was a=300 μm, b=100 μm, The coating area size is c=220 μm, d=20 μm, the number of counter nozzles is N=c/P=220/17.6≒12, the number of droplets M in the relative movement direction is 1, and the amount of coating in the pixel (in the pixel) The filling amount) is 300 pl, and the amount Q per droplet of the droplet is 40 pl.
於該條件下,滿足像素內塗佈量之剩餘噴嘴數量n,可藉由於數1中代入具體的數值而求出,且剩餘噴嘴數量n為4以下。Under this condition, the number n of remaining nozzles satisfying the amount of coating in the pixel can be obtained by substituting a specific value into the number 1, and the number of remaining nozzles n is 4 or less.
其結果為,噴墨噴嘴52之組合之數量i為495。As a result, the number i of the combinations of the inkjet nozzles 52 is 495.
因此,藉由使用495組以下之組合(例如,50組之組合)之噴墨噴嘴52(選擇噴出狀態)進行彩色材料之塗佈,可使塗佈不均分散,且可使塗佈不均不明顯。Therefore, by applying the color material by using the ink jet nozzle 52 (selective ejection state) of a combination of 495 or less (for example, a combination of 50 groups), uneven coating can be dispersed, and uneven coating can be performed. Not obvious.
