20090207389 | ACTIVE MASK VARIABLE DATA INTEGRAL IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system for forming an integral image includes an optics system spaced between an active digital mask and the first side of an integral lens array, where the integral lens array has a light sensitive material layer spaced relative to the second side of the integral lens array. The active digital mask may provide the image directly to the integral lens array, or the image may be focused on a projection screen placed relative to the integral lens array. The active digital mask can vary the provided image to create a three dimensional image and to account for distortions caused by the optics system or curvature in the integral lens array and/or the light sensitive material. Edible materials may be used for the integral lens array and light sensitive material. | 08-20-2009 |

20110116058 | PRINTER AND PRINTING METHOD FOR LENTICULAR SHEET - A lenticular sheet includes an array of lenticules and a back surface located opposite to the lenticules. In a printer, a printhead prints plural interlaced images on the back surface, the interlaced images being formed by interlacing two original images having disparity. A line sensor has plural sensor elements arranged in an array direction of the lenticules, and receives detection light condensed by a cylindrical lens, to output a detection signal for representing a vertex point of the lenticules. A transport device transports the lenticular sheet in the array direction, and adjusts an orientation of the lenticular sheet during transport to remove offset of the lenticular sheet from the array direction. A controller controls the transport device according to the detection signal, sets a longitudinal direction of the lenticules perpendicular to the array direction by adjusting the orientation, and drives the printhead for printing. | 05-19-2011 |
20110285974 | PRINTER - Tilt angle and tilt direction of lenticular lenses are detected precisely to correct attitude of a transported lenticular sheet with high accuracy. At least first to third lens sensors are disposed in a transport track of the lenticular sheet, aligned in a main scan direction and spaced at uneven intervals. Each lens sensor has a light-emitting element and a light-receiving element arranged to sandwich the lenticular sheet and output a detection signal corresponding to concavities and convexities of the lenticular lenses. During the transport of the lenticular sheet, the detection signals output from the first to third lens sensors are analyzed to detect the tilt direction and the tilt angle of the lenticular lenses accurately. Based on the tilt direction and the tilt angle, the attitude of the lenticular sheet is corrected in advance, preventing the lenticular sheet from skewing while stripe images are being recorded thereon. | 11-24-2011 |
