Abstract: The present invention provides an image ordering system in which an environment for enabling easily printing ordering for unspecified image content can be simply realized. A user watching image content delivered from a content deliverer designates an image to be printed. Then, image specifying information for specifying the image is written into a scene marker possessed by the user. When the user performs printing ordering via a receiving machine, the image specifying information is read out from the scene marker and a thumbnail image provided from the content provider is displayed. When the order is designated, high quality image data is provided from the content provider to the image order processing device. Subsequently, the image order processing device transfers the data so as to ask a print finishing operator to perform a print finishing processing.

Abstract: A light emission device includes organic light emission element arrays for red, green and blue, each of which has a plurality of microscopic organic light emission elements arranged in line. Three-color recording light beams of one line emitted from said organic light emission element arrays are applied to an instant photo film through corresponding condenser lenses and graded-index type optical fiber. The condenser lenses are formed integrally with a surface of a transparent plate, on the other side of which the organic light emission element arrays for red, green and blue are stacked. In order to correct axial chromatic aberration, radius of curvature of each condenser lens is varied in accordance with the color of light beam emitted from corresponding organic light emission element.
