Patent CA-2782235-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TACK KLAAS
IPC: G01J3/28
Filed: 2010-11-30
Abstract: An integrated circuit for an imaging system has an array of optical sensors (40), and an array of optical filters (10) each configured to pass a band of wavelengths onto one or more of the sensors, the array of optical filters being integrated with the array of sensors, and the integrated circuit also having read out circuitry (30) to read out pixel values from the array of sensors to represent an image, different ones of the optical filters being configured to have a different thickness, to pass different bands of wavelengths by means of interference, to allow detection of a spectrum of wavelengths. The read out circuitry can enable multiple pixels under one optical filter to be read out in parallel. The thicknesses may vary non monotonically across the array. The read out, or later image processing, may involve selection or interpolation between wavelengths, to carry out spectral sampling or shifting, to compensate for thickness errors.

Abstract: A method of imaging thermoplastics, such as acrylic glass, is presented. An image is formed on a transfer sheet or medium, and is heat transferred to the acrylic glass substrate on which the image is to permanently appear. A novel opaque pass-through coating is applied to one surface of the clear or transparent acrylic glass article. Heat activatable dye forms the image, and the heat activatable dye, when heat activated in close relationship to the opaque pass-through coating, passes through the opaque pass-through coating to the thermoplastic substrate. The image reflects light through the thermoplastic material and is visible through the material and from the side opposite the opaque coating. The opaque pass-through coating layer permanently bonds to the acrylic glass surface.
