摘要： A transmissive color liquid crystal display including a first liquid crystal section, a light-guiding element, a second liquid crystal section, and first and second liquid crystal drivers. The first liquid crystal section presents color images. The light-guiding element is situated behind the first liquid crystal section for orienting rays toward the first liquid crystal display section. The second liquid crystal section includes a plurality of zones capable of transmitting wavelength bands of external rays, respectively. The zones are selectively activated for introducing colored external rays through respective zones to the light-guiding element. The first liquid crystal driver controls the first liquid crystal section. While color-component data extracted from full color image data is input into the first liquid crystal driver in a time-division manner, the first liquid crystal driver activates and deactivates pixels on the first liquid crystal section for presenting images on the first liquid crystal display on the basis of the color-component data in time division manner. The second liquid crystal driver selectively activates the zones in the second liquid crystal section in time division manner for introducing colored external rays of which wavelength bands correspond to the color-component data through the zone to the light-guiding element for irradiating the images on the first liquid crystal section with the colored external rays in time division manner.

摘要： Trichromatic light exposed through a liquid crystal panel upon which liquid crystal shutter elements are two-dimensionally arranged is exposed so as to form an image in the same position on a photosensitive recording medium by moving the photosensitive recording medium opposite the array of liquid crystal shutter elements. For example, the liquid crystal panel is provided with red liquid crystal shutter element rows, green liquid crystal shutter element rows, and blue liquid crystal shutter element rows, each arrayed with m liquid crystal shutter elements in a direction perpendicular to a direction of conveyance of the photosensitive recording medium, these element rows being arranged repetitively in an appropriate order at constant pitch such that (n+2) rows are arranged in the direction of conveyance of the photosensitive recording medium. Exposure through the liquid crystal shutter elements is activated every time the photosensitive recording medium is conveyed by the same distance as the constant pitch.

摘要： A first cutter 130 (cutting unit) is provided between a color recording unit 120 (the first printing unit) and an overcoat recording unit 140 (the second printing unit). A portion whereon color printing is completed by the color recording unit 120 of a recording paper 200 (printing medium) is cut off by the first cutter 130 and detached. An overcoat recording unit 140 performs an overcoat process on the detached recording paper (printing medium strip). In parallel with this, the color recording unit 120 performs next color printing on the recording paper 200. This makes it possible to reduce a printing time in a printing device including a plurality of printing processes without deteriorating printing quality. Further, an useless paper feeding is eliminated by optimally arranging the color recording unit 120, the first cutter 130, the overcoat recording unit 140, and the second cutter 160, etc. in accordance with a size of a printing area.
