Abstract: Disclosed is an optical-electrical wiring board, comprising an electrical wiring board having a through-hole formed therein and an optical wiring layer laminated on the board and including a core and a clad surrounding the core. The electrical wiring board includes an electrical wiring formed on one surface of the board and pads on which optical parts are mounted. The pads are electrically connected to the electrical wiring and arranged on one surface of the electrical wiring board in the vicinity of a through-hole. The core includes a horizontal waveguide for propagating the light beam in a horizontal direction along the electrical wiring board and a vertical waveguide having a part arranged inside the through-hole and crossing the horizontal waveguide. The vertical waveguide propagates the light beam in a direction perpendicular to the electrical wiring board.

Abstract: A computer type setting device (CTI) performs layout of letters and graphic information of a manuscript on printing plates, based on the data transmitted from a keyboard. During such an operation, plate layout data LD such as the font, size, word spacing and line spacing, are determined. Raster image processor (RIP) converts this plate data PD into digitized bitmaps/characters BD, and inputs the results into a layout scanner. The layout scanner converts the digitized pictorial and figure data into 8-bit contrast image data IM, per page of the manuscript, and determines the layout of the images and the contrast data on the printing plates. The dot generator 13 scans the finished plates data PD in a given direction, digitizes the images in terms of [0]s and [1]s into film exposure data ED, and supplies the results to an output scanner and a memory device. The output scanner optically produces positive film nettings, based on the successive film exposure data ED.
