Printer using an array of deformable mirror devices (DMD).

摘要

A method for printing or exposing photosensitive media is disclosed herein. The method uses standard spatial light modulators (10) with standard addressing circuitry. The data is written to the device (10) for the first row, the photosensitive media is exposed to the light reflected from the device, and the device is turned off. The data from the first row is then written to the second line of the device (14), and new data is loaded into the first line (12) of the device. The media is again exposed. This is repeated until the entire region of the drum is completely exposed. The device (10) can be repositioned to cover a different region of the drum and the process would be repeated. <IMAGE>
