A resolution heightening circuit comprises a modulation information generating circuit that receives printing data supplied from a host printer control circuit to generate a pulse width modulation information signal on the basis of the printing data. The modulation information generating circuit uses a reference template of four lines by three dots to increase the number of dots for a line at a printing unit. A modulation circuit is connected to the modulation information generating circuit and the printing unit and produces modulated driving pulses in response to the pulse width modulation information signal to supply the modulated driving pulses to the printing unit.

The present invention provides a delay clock generator where a plurality of stable delay clocks can be generated and digitizing is easy. The delay clock generator comprises first to nth (n: integer not less than 2) delay circuits (11 to 1n) connected in cascade connection for delaying the basic clock (KO) in sequence, a phase comparator (21) for comparing phase of a delay clock from the nth delay circuit (1n) with that of the basic clock, and a delay control circuit (31) for generating a delay control value to make the phase of the delay clock from the nth delay circuit synchronize with that of the basic clock based on a phase comparison result, and for controlling delay amounts of the first to nth delay circuits respectively by the delay control value. In the present invention, a voltage control type oscillator is not used, and since delay amounts of the first to nth delay circuits are controlled by the delay control value generated based on the phase comparison result, the delay clock generator can be constituted wholly by digital circuits and moreover can generate stable delay clocks.

An optical switching device for dividing an optical input which was wavelength-multiplexed into a plurality of optical outputs by wavelengths is disclosed. The device comprises a first filtering circuit and a second filtering circuit. The first filtering circuit has a plurality of interference filters disposed in line on an optical path of the optical input. The interference filters have different edge wavelengths each other so as to reflect a component with a predetermined wavelength of the optical input and to transmit the remaining components of the optical input. The second filtering circuit has a plurality of interference filters disposed on respective optical paths of reflected rays of the first filtering circuit. The interference filters of the second filtering circuit have different edge wavelengths each other so as to remove components with unnecessary wavelengths from the reflected ray and extract optical outputs.

A post-activation type dry image forming material comprising (I) a silver salt component reducible to free silver upon light exposure and including silver iodide; (II) a redox reactive composition capable of making a visual change by a redox reaction of said composition, said reaction being initiated by heating in the presence of free silver; (III) an oxidizing agent for free silver which has an oxidizing capacity for free silver but is rendered photosensitive by heating and which, upon light exposure after said heating, is suppressed with respect to the oxidizing capacity for free silver and capable of catalytically promoting the redox reaction of said composition; and (IV) a photoreactive oxidizing agent, upon light exposure, capable of returning the reduced oxidizing agent for free silver to the original state. A post-activation type dry image forming material which is extremely excellent in stability of the raw image forming material, that is, can be stored in a light room for a time as long as a period of the order of years and which has high sensitivity can, for the first time, be realized by the ingenious combination of components. The effect of the interaction between the components, especially between the components (I), (III) and (IV) is noticeable in imparting to the present image forming material an extremely high stability of the raw image forming material.
