  • Patent number: 6160273
    Abstract: A OLED-based edge emitter mitigates the problem of unacceptably large losses by physically separating the OLED from the waveguide using an optical cladding layer. An additional advantage over conventional surface emitting OLEDs used in image bars is the pixel aspect ratio of the edge emitter. The pixel-aspect ratio is narrow in the process direction forming a rectangle. This rectangular shape allows movement to make an effective square. Therefore, emission modulation can be performed at a high duty-cycle because the edge is much shorter in the process direction than in the lateral, i.e., fast scan direction. As a result, the duty cycle of the light source can be higher, i.e., the light source is on for a longer time, without smearing an irradiated spot into locations corresponding to adjacent pixels.

  • Patent number: 6150824
    Abstract: A contactless process for detecting electrical patterns on the outer surface of a member comprising providing a member having a charge pattern on an outer surface, repetitively measuring the charge pattern on the outer surface of the member with an electrostatic voltmeter probe maintained at a substantially constant distance from the surface, the distance between the probe and the imaging member being slightly greater than the minimum distance at which Paschen breakdown will occur to form a parallel plate capacitor with a gas between the probe and the surface, the frequency of repetition being selected to cause all time dependent signals to fall out of phase by a predetermined amount, and averaging the out of phase time dependent signals over a sufficient number of measuring repetitions to eliminate the time dependent signals. In one embodiment, the contactless process detects surface potential charge patterns in an electrostatographic imaging member.

  • Patent number: 6072517
    Abstract: An integrating xerographic light emitter array includes circuitry for operating an active matrix array of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). The light emitter array stages rows of emitters in the slow scan direction and moves the object image and synchronization with the photoreceptor. Grey scale resolution, increased emitter lifetime and the ability to operate at lower light levels are achieved in proportion to the number of stages. The entire printbar can be rewritten during each line time of the photoreceptor, which allows the exposure on any pixel on the photoreceptor to be varied in a number of grey levels from zero to the number of stages. Bringing a grey level signal to the photoreceptor allows improved continuous tone image quality and line placement. Additional grey resolution is obtained by analog driving of individual pixels. This technique is applicable to a variety of emitters or light valves, but is particularly suited to inexpensive OLEDs.
