The film loading chamber 50 is formed by a concave portion and is opened and closed by the film cover 14. The concave portion has a shape into which the instant film package 100 is fitted, and is closed in a darkroom state by covering the film cover 14.

< instant film packaging box >

The instant film package 100 has a structure in which a plurality of instant films 110 are accommodated in a case 120.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the instant film package. Fig. 5 is a front view of an instant film. Fig. 6 is a rear view of the instant film. In fig. 4 to 6, the direction indicated by the arrow F is the feeding direction of the instant film 110. I.e., the film 110 is conveyed in the direction indicated by the arrow F and discharged from the cassette 120.

The instant film 110 is a so-called "one-sheet type" (also referred to as a leaflet film, an integral film, or the like) instant film, and is a type in which an image appears on the back surface of the exposed surface. The instant film 110 has a rectangular card shape. The developing film 110 is configured such that one side surface is an exposed surface 110a and the other side surface is an observation surface 110 b. The exposure surface 110a is a surface on which a video is recorded by exposure, and the observation surface 110b is a surface on which a recorded image is observed.

As shown in fig. 6, an exposure area 112, a pocket 114, and a collection portion 116 are provided on an exposure surface 110a of the instant film 110.

The exposure area 112 is an area where an image is recorded by exposure. The exposure area 112 becomes a printable area of the instant film 110. The bag portion 114 and the collecting portion 116 are arranged in the front and rear of the delivery direction F with the exposure region 112 interposed therebetween.

The bag portion 114 is disposed on the front side in the feeding direction F with respect to the exposure region 112. The bag portion 114 contains a developing solution bag portion 114a containing a developing solution.

The collecting portion 116 is disposed on the rear side in the feeding direction F with respect to the exposure region 112. The collecting portion 116 incorporates a suction tool 116 a.

As shown in fig. 5, a viewing area 118 is provided on the viewing surface 110b of the instant film 110. The observation region 118 is a region where an image is displayed. By performing a development process on the exposed region 112, an image is displayed in the observation region 118. The observation region 118 is arranged corresponding to the exposure region 112. A frame 118a is provided around the observation region 118.

Thus, the image is displayed within the frame.

In addition, the instant film 110 is viewed in a direction in which the collecting portion 116 faces upward and the bag portion 114 faces downward. Thus, the image is printed in a direction in which the collecting portion 116 faces upward and the bag portion 114 faces downward.

That is, the developing process is performed on the developing film 110 by developing the developing solution of the bag portion 114 in the exposed region 112 after the exposure. The developing treatment liquid of the bag portion 114 is squeezed out from the bag portion 114 by passing the instant film 110 between the pair of expanding rollers 54A, and is expanded at the exposed region 112. The developing treatment liquid remaining during the development treatment is collected by the collecting portion 116.

The cartridge 120 has a rectangular box shape. The cartridge 120 has a rectangular exposure opening 120a in the front portion. The cartridge 120 has a slit-shaped discharge port 120b in a top surface portion. That is, the photographic film 110 is stacked and accommodated in the cassette with the exposure surface 110a facing the front surface side (the exposure opening 120a side) of the cassette 120 and the bag portion 114 facing the top surface side (the discharge port 120b side) of the cassette 120. The cartridge 120 has a slit-shaped claw opening 120c in a bottom surface portion. When the claw 52a enters from the claw opening 120c, the instant films 110 stored in the cassette 120 are conveyed toward the discharge port 120b one by one, and are discharged from the discharge port 120 b.

A plurality of (e.g., 10) instant film sheets 110 are contained in one instant film package 100.

< film feeding mechanism >

The film feeding mechanism 52 feeds out the instant films 110 one by one from the instant film package 100 loaded in the film loading chamber 50 in order from the upper side in the stacking direction. The film feeding mechanism 52 includes a claw 52a that moves back and forth in the feeding direction F of the instant film 110, and the instant film 110 in the cassette is drawn out one by one from above in the stacking direction by the claw 52a and the instant film 110 is fed out from the instant film packaging box 100.

< film conveying mechanism >

The film transport mechanism 54 transports the instant film 110 fed out from the instant film package 100 by the film feeding mechanism 52. The film transport mechanism 54 includes an unwinding roller pair 54A. The pair of unwinding rollers 54A is driven to rotate by a motor not shown, and conveys the instant film 110 while sandwiching it. That is, the developing film 110 is subjected to the developing process during the conveyance by the pair of unwinding rollers 54A. That is, the bag portion 114 is crushed by the expanding roller pair 54A and the developing treatment liquid in the bag portion is expanded.

< display for exposure >

The exposure display 56 is a display for recording an image on the instant film 110. The exposure display 56 exposes the instant film 110 by displaying an image, and records the image on the instant film 110. The exposure display 56 is an example of the 1 st display unit. The exposure display 56 is provided on the bottom surface of the film loading chamber 50. When the instant film package cartridge 100 is loaded in the film loading chamber 50, the exposure surface 110a of the instant film 110 accommodated in the cartridge 120 is disposed opposite to the display surface 56a of the exposure display 56 through the exposure opening 120 a. The exposure display 56 has a size capable of exposing the film 110 at one time. Thus, there is a display surface 56a that is at least larger than the size of the viewing area 118 of the instant film 110.

The exposure Display 56 is a transmissive color Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) provided with a backlight.

Fig. 7 is a view showing a schematic configuration of an exposure display and a display.

As shown in fig. 7, the exposure display 56 includes an exposure liquid crystal display 58 and an exposure backlight 60. The exposure liquid crystal display 58 is a transmission color liquid crystal display. The exposure backlight 60 uniformly irradiates the entire display area of the exposure liquid crystal display 58 with light from behind the exposure liquid crystal display 58. The exposure backlight 60 includes a rod lamp 60a as a light source and a light guide plate 60b for uniformly guiding light emitted from the rod lamp 60a to the entire display region of the exposure liquid crystal display 58.

A louver 62 is provided on the display surface 56a of the exposure display 56. The louver plates 62 limit the light output direction of light from each pixel of the exposure display 56 to a certain range. The louver plates 62 are an example of the light emitting direction regulating member. The louver plates 62 have a thin plate shape having an outer shape corresponding to the exposure opening 120a of the instant film package 100. When the instant film package cartridge 100 is loaded in the film loading chamber 50, the louver plates 62 are fitted in the exposure opening 120a and abut against the exposure surface 110a of the instant film 110 housed in the cartridge 120.

FIG. 8 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a portion of a louver. FIG. 9 is a front view with a portion of the louver enlarged.

As shown in fig. 8, the louver 62 has a two-layer structure having a light exit direction regulating layer 64 on the side of the incident surface 62a and a protective layer 66 on the side of the exit surface 62 b. The incident surface 62a is a surface disposed to face the display surface 56a of the exposure display 56, and the emission surface 62b is a surface disposed to face the exposure surface 110a of the instant film 110.

The light-emission direction regulating layer 64 is a layer that regulates the light-emission direction of light from each pixel of the exposure display 56 within a certain range. The light-exit-direction regulating layer 64 includes a light-shielding portion 64a in a lattice shape and a light-transmitting portion 64b partitioned by the light-shielding portion 64 a. The light-shielding portion 64a is made of a light-shielding material (for example, a colored resin material (for example, black silicone rubber or the like)) and has a wall surface perpendicular to the incident surface 62a and the emission surface 62 b. The translucent portion 64b is made of a translucent material (e.g., glass, transparent silicone rubber, or the like), and constitutes an optical path perpendicular to the incident surface 62a and the exit surface 62b of the louver 62.

The protective layer 66 is a layer that protects the light exit direction restriction layer 64. The protective layer 66 is made of a material having light transmittance (for example, acrylic resin, polycarbonate, vinyl chloride resin, or the like).

The louver plates 62 of the above-described structure selectively transmit only light incident substantially perpendicularly with respect to the incident surface 62 a. In the exposure display 56, the louver plates 62 are provided on the display surface 16a, and thereby the light output direction of the light from each pixel P is limited to a direction substantially perpendicular to the display surface 16 a. Thus, the light from each pixel P can substantially vertically irradiate the exposure surface 110a of the instant film 110, and the blur of the recorded image can be prevented.

< display for image display >

The image display 16 is a touch panel display. As shown in fig. 7, the image display 16 includes an image display liquid crystal display 68, an image display backlight 70, and a touch sensor 72. The image display liquid crystal display 68 is a transmission type color liquid crystal display. The image display backlight 70 uniformly irradiates light from the back of the image display liquid crystal display 68 to the entire display area of the image display liquid crystal display 68. The image display backlight 70 includes a rod lamp 70a as a white light source, and a light guide plate 70b for uniformly guiding light emitted from the rod lamp 70a to the entire display region of the image display liquid crystal display 68. The touch sensor 72 is provided on the display surface 16a of the image display 16. The touch sensor 72 is an example of a touch operation detection unit. The touch sensor 72 detects a touch operation on the display surface 16a of the image display monitor 16.

As shown in fig. 3 and 7, the image display 16 and the exposure display 56 are disposed so as to overlap each other. A light shielding wall 74 is provided between the image display 16 and the exposure display 56. The light shielding wall 74 is an example of a light shielding member, and prevents light of the backlights from leaking to another display region. This prevents light from the image display backlight 70 from leaking to the exposure display 56 side, and thus prevents the film 110 from being exposed.

[ Electrical Structure ]

Fig. 10 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the digital camera with printer.

As shown in fig. 10, the digital camera with printer 1 includes a microcomputer (microcomputer)80 having a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a RAM (Random Access Memory), and the microcomputer 80 controls the driving of each part. That is, the microcomputer 80 controls the driving of the imaging lens 12, the image sensor 42, the film feeding mechanism 52, the film conveying mechanism 54, and the like. The microcomputer 80 controls each unit based on an operation input from the operation unit 92. The operation unit 92 is composed of the power button 18 and the touch sensor 72. The microcomputer 80 executes a predetermined control program to realize various control functions.

The digital camera with printer 1 includes an analog signal processing unit 82, a digital signal processing unit 84, a print image processing unit 86, a memory 88, a memory controller 88a, and a display controller 90.

The analog signal processing section 82 reads an analog image signal for each pixel output from the image sensor 42, and performs predetermined signal processing (for example, correlated double sampling processing, amplification processing, and the like). The Analog signal processing unit 82 includes an ADC (Analog to Digital Converter/AD Converter), and converts an Analog image signal after predetermined signal processing into a Digital image signal and outputs the Digital image signal.

The digital signal processing unit 84 reads the digital image signal output from the analog signal processing unit 82, and performs predetermined signal processing (for example, gradation conversion processing, white balance correction processing, gamma correction processing, synchronization processing, YC conversion processing, and the like) to generate image data. The generated image data is output to the microcomputer 80.

The image processing section 86 performs predetermined image processing on the image data to be printed under the control of the microcomputer 80, and generates image data for printing. That is, image data to be displayed on the exposure display 56 is generated. This image data is the image data most suitable for exposure to the instant film 110.

In the digital camera with printer 1 according to the present embodiment, since the single-sheet type instant film 110 is used, the image is reversed right and left as a part of the image processing. Then, the photographic film 110 is loaded in the digital camera with printer 1 upside down (heaven and earth), and therefore, the upside down processing is performed.

Fig. 11 is a conceptual diagram of generation of an image for printing.

In fig. 11, a diagram (a) is an image represented by image data of a printing object, and a diagram (B) is an image represented by image data for printing. As shown in fig. 11, the print image is an image with the top and bottom and the left and right sides reversed with respect to the original image.

The memory 88 stores various data including image data. The Memory 88 is constituted by a nonvolatile Memory such as an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory). The memory controller 88a writes data to the memory 88 under the control of the microcomputer 80.

The display controller 90 displays an image on the image display 16 and the exposure display 56 under the control of the microcomputer 80. The display controller 90 is formed of, for example, an LSI (Large Scale Integration).

Fig. 12 is a block diagram showing functions of the controller.

When the image display 16 displays an image, the display controller 90 outputs display data to the image display liquid crystal display 68 and turns on (turns on) the image display backlight 70. When the exposure display 56 displays an image, the display controller 90 outputs display data to the exposure liquid crystal display 58 and turns on the exposure backlight 60.

The microcomputer 80 functions as a display control section 80a by executing a predetermined display control program, and controls the display of the image display monitor 16 and the exposure monitor 56 via the display controller 90.

When the mode of the digital camera with printer 1 is set to the shooting mode, the display control unit 80a displays the image captured by the image sensor 42 on the image display monitor 16 in real time. In other words, the live view image is displayed on the image display 16. Then, an operation button (such as a shutter button) necessary for shooting is displayed on the image display 16. Information required for image capture (aperture value, shutter speed, number of images to be captured, etc.) is displayed on the image display 16 as necessary.

When the mode of the digital camera with printer 1 is set to the playback mode, the display control unit 80a displays the image data recorded in the memory 88 on the image display monitor 16.

Then, the display control unit 80a displays a setting screen for performing various settings on the image display monitor 16 in response to calling of the setting screen.

On the other hand, when an image is printed, the image for printing is displayed on the display 56 for exposure. At this time, the display control unit 80a turns off the display of the image display monitor 16.

[ Effect of digital Camera with Printer ]

< shoot >

If the power is turned on, the digital camera with printer 1 is started in the shooting mode. In the shooting mode, the image captured by the image sensor 42 is displayed on the image display 16 in real time. In other words, the live view image is displayed on the image display 16. The user confirms adjustment of the composition, the focus state of the main subject, and the like using the image display 16 as a viewfinder.

Fig. 13 is a diagram showing an example of display of the image display monitor in the shooting mode.

As shown in fig. 13, the live view image LI and various operation buttons are displayed on the image display 16. In the example shown in fig. 13, a case is shown in which the shutter button SB, the playback button PB, and the menu button MB are displayed as operation buttons. The shutter button SB is a button that instructs recording (shooting) of an image. The playback button PB is a button that commands switching to the playback mode. The menu button MB is a button for instructing display of a menu screen.

The user touches the shutter button SB to command recording of an image. When recording of an image is instructed, image data for recording is read from the image sensor 42, subjected to necessary signal processing, and recorded in the memory 88.

< playback >

When the playback button PB displayed on the image display monitor 16 is touched in the shooting mode, the mode of the digital camera with printer 1 is switched to the playback mode.

When the playback mode is switched, the image data of the last captured image (the image recorded in the memory 88 at the end) is read from the memory 88 and displayed on the image display monitor 16.

Fig. 14 is a diagram showing an example of display of the image display in the playback mode.

As shown in fig. 14, the image display 16 displays a playback image PI and various operation buttons. In the example shown in fig. 14, a case is shown in which the print button PrB, the camera button CB, and the menu button MB are displayed as operation buttons. The print button PrB is a button that instructs printing of an image in display. The camera button CB is a button that commands switching to a shooting mode. The menu button MB is a button for instructing display of a menu screen.

When printing the image in display, the user touches the print button PrB. When frame-by-frame playback is performed, a screen of the image display 16 is tapped. The flick operation is an operation of flicking the screen with a fingertip. When the image being displayed is enlarged, the enlargement operation is performed on the screen of the image display monitor 16. The zoom-in operation is an operation of expanding the distance between the fingers in a state where the screen is touched with two fingers. When the image being displayed is reduced, the image display monitor 16 performs a reduction operation on the screen. The zoom-out operation is an operation of shortening the distance between the fingers in a state where the screen is touched with two fingers.

< printing >

As described above, in the playback mode, if the print button PrB is touched in the image playback, the image in display is printed. In the shooting mode, when the automatic printing mode is selected, the shot image is printed without waiting for a print command. The automatic print mode is set to be turned on or off, for example, by calling up a mode setting screen from a menu screen.

When printing is instructed, image data to be printed is added to the image processing portion 86 for printing, and image data for printing is generated. The microcomputer 80 adds the generated image data for printing to the display controller 90 and displays the image data on the display 56 for exposure. Thereby, the print image is displayed on the exposure display 56.

By displaying the image on the exposure display 56, the instant film 110 is exposed. At this time, the exposure film 110 is exposed by irradiating the light from each pixel of the exposure display 56 through the louver 62. The louver 62 has a function of transmitting only light substantially perpendicular to the exposure surface 110 a. Thus, blurring of the image can be prevented, and a high-quality image can be printed.

The image is displayed at a constant brightness for a constant time. The exposure time is set according to the brightness of the exposure display 56. That is, the exposure time of the instant film 110 is set to be appropriate.

When a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the display, the display of the exposure display 56 is turned off, and the exposure is terminated. When the exposure is completed, the film feeding mechanism 52 and the film conveying mechanism 54 are driven. By driving the film feeding mechanism 52, the exposed instant film 110 is discharged from the cassette 120 through the claw 52 a. The instant film 110 discharged from the cassette 120 is discharged from the film discharge port 20 by the pair of unwinding rollers 54A. And, in this discharging process, a developing process is obtained. That is, the bag portion 114 is crushed by the pair of expanding rollers 54A, and the developing process liquid in the bag portion is expanded and subjected to the developing process.

Fig. 15 is a diagram showing a transition state of screen display of the image display when printing is performed in the playback mode.

Fig. 15(a) shows a playback state of an image, and when a print button is touched in this state to command printing of an image under playback, a confirmation screen of printing is displayed as shown in fig. 15 (B). In the print confirmation screen, the printed graphics are displayed on the image display monitor 16. That is, an image of a figure when the print is performed on the instant film 110 (an image in such a manner that the image to be printed falls in the observation area 118 of the observation surface 110b of the instant film 110) is displayed. At the same time, a "ok" button for instructing execution of printing and a "cancel" button for instructing suspension of printing are displayed. When printing is performed, the user touches the "ok" button, and when printing is suspended, the "cancel" button is touched. When the "cancel" button is touched, the playback screen shown in fig. 15(a) is restored. On the other hand, when the "ok" button is touched, a screen for notifying execution of printing is displayed as shown in fig. 15 (C). In this screen, a message of "print" is displayed. Then, printing is performed. That is, the image for recording is displayed on the exposure display 56, and the instant film 110 is exposed. During exposure, as shown in fig. 15(D), the display of the image display monitor 16 is turned off. When the exposure is completed, the screen returns to the playback screen of the printed image as shown in fig. 15 (a).

[ display control of image display and exposure display ]

As described above, in the digital camera with printer 1 according to the present embodiment, the display of the image display monitor 16 is turned off during exposure. This can reduce the peak value of the electric power, and thus can reduce the electric power load. In addition, the battery can be miniaturized, and the entire camera can be miniaturized.

Fig. 16 is a timing chart of display control of the image display and the exposure display.

Fig. 16 shows a manner of display control when the exposure is started at time t2 and ended at time t 3. As shown in fig. 16, while the image is displayed on the exposure display 56 and the instant film 110 is exposed, the display on the image display 16 is turned off.

The image display 16 turns off the display before a certain time of starting the exposure. In other words, when the instant film is exposed, the exposure is started after a certain time (after Δ t) has elapsed after the display of the image display monitor 16 is turned off.

During the exposure, the image display 16 continues to turn off the display, and when the exposure is completed, the display is turned on after a certain time (after Δ t has elapsed). That is, the display of the exposure display 56 is turned off, and the display is turned on after a certain time has elapsed since the turning off.

In this way, the display of the image display monitor 16 is surely turned off during the display of the exposure monitor 56. This can reduce the peak value of the electric power, and thus can reduce the electric power load. In addition, when the exposure display is on display and the display of the image display is off, the user may be notified that exposure is being performed by a light source or the like that is separate from the audio and image display displays. Thus, even when the display of the image display monitor is turned off during exposure, the digital camera 1 with the printer can be held without turning off the power supply and during exposure. Further, as the notification means, mechanical notification means such as sound and vibration generated when the film is conveyed by the film conveying means 54 can be used. By using sound and vibration generated when the film is conveyed as a notification mechanism, power saving or reduction in the number of components can be achieved.

[ modified examples ]

< processing in shooting mode >

When printing is performed in the shooting mode, the driving of the image pickup section is preferably turned off in the exposure. More specifically, when the exposure display 56 displays an image, the driving of the imaging lens 12 and the image sensor 42 is turned off. This can more effectively reduce the power peak. In this case, the microcomputer 80 functions as an imaging control unit and controls the driving of the imaging lens 12 and the image sensor 42.

< modification 1 of display control of image display and exposure display

The image display 16 and the exposure display 56 may be controlled to turn on and off the display by controlling the backlight to turn on and off.

Since the backlight consumes more power than the liquid crystal display, the power load can be sufficiently reduced by controlling the turning on and off of the backlight to control the turning on and off of the display. Also, the control can be simplified.

< modification 2 of display control of image display and exposure display

When the opening and closing of the display of the image display 16 and the exposure display 56 are controlled by controlling the opening and closing of the backlight, the same image may be displayed on the image display 16 and the exposure display 56. That is, the same display data may be output from the display controller 90 and the same image may be displayed on each liquid crystal display. This can simplify display control.

In this example, during exposure, the image-displaying liquid crystal display 68 displays the exposed image (the image recorded on the instant film 110). However, the image display backlight 70 is turned off, and thus cannot be visually recognized. Similarly, during shooting, the live view image is displayed on the exposure liquid crystal display 58, but the exposure backlight 60 is turned off, and therefore the instant film 110 is not exposed.

< modification 3 of display control of image display and exposure display

When the same image is displayed on the image display 16 and the exposure display 56, the image display 16 and the exposure display 56 may be connected to the same image output interface.

Fig. 17 is a conceptual diagram of a case where the image display monitor and the exposure monitor are connected to the same image output interface.

As shown in fig. 17, the image display 16 and the exposure display 56 are connected to the same image output interface 90a with respect to the display controller 90. More specifically, the image display liquid crystal display 68 of the image display 16 and the exposure liquid crystal display 58 of the exposure display 56 are connected to the same image output interface 90a of the display controller 90. In this way, the same display data is added from the display controller 90 to the image display liquid crystal display 68 and the exposure liquid crystal display 58, and the same image is displayed.

In this way, the interface for display control is commonly used for the image display 16 and the exposure display 56, and the configuration can be further simplified.

< modification 4 of display control of image display and exposure display

The backlight turned on by the switch may be switched to turn on and off the display of the image display 16 and the exposure display 56.

Fig. 18 is a conceptual diagram of the case where the backlight turned on by the switch is switched to control on and off of the display of the image display and the exposure display.

As shown in fig. 18, the image display backlight 70 and the exposure backlight 60 are selectively turned on by the switch 90 b. This allows selective display of only one of the image display 16 and the exposure display 56.

< modification 4 of display control of image display and exposure display

As described above, when the instant film 110 is exposed, an image is displayed on the exposure display 56 for a certain period of time at a certain brightness. Therefore, the luminance of the exposure display 56 is constant.

On the other hand, the image display 16 is preferably adjustable in brightness by the user. That is, it is preferable to provide a separate brightness adjustment unit so that the user can adjust the brightness arbitrarily. This makes it possible to always ensure good visibility regardless of the use environment.

The brightness adjustment is performed by, for example, a screen operation, and a brightness adjustment screen is prepared. The brightness adjustment screen is configured to be called from a menu screen, for example. Further, the camera body 10 may be provided with a brightness adjustment dial or the like for adjustment.

The exposure display 56 has a constant luminance, but the luminance is set higher than the luminance of the image display 16 because of the provision of the louver plates 62.

< modification of image display and exposure display >

In the above-described embodiment, the image display 16 and the exposure display 56 are both constituted by liquid crystal displays, but the display devices used as the image display 16 and the exposure display 56 are not limited to this. In addition, for example, flat panel displays such as Organic Electro-Luminescence Display (OELD), plasma Display, Field Emission Display (FED), and electronic paper can be used. The image display 16 and the exposure display 56 do not necessarily need to be the same display device, and one may be formed of a liquid crystal display and the other may be formed of an organic EL display, for example. Further, the image display 16 and the exposure display 56 may use displays having different display sizes.

When the image display 16 and the exposure display 56 are configured by liquid crystal displays, a lamp configured to emit light from a surface may be used as the backlight.

In the exposure display 56, when recording on an instant film is considered, the pixel pitch (distance between adjacent pixels) is preferably 200 μm or less. In order to obtain a more satisfactory image, the pixel pitch is preferably 150 μm or less, more preferably 125 μm or less, and still more preferably 85 μm or less.

In addition, although a glass plate is generally provided as a protective layer on the display surface of a flat panel display such as a liquid crystal display, a display device having a thin protective layer such as a glass plate is preferably used as the display device used for the exposure display 56 in order to shorten the distance from each pixel to the exposure surface of the instant film.

< modification of layout of image display and exposure display >

In the above embodiment, the image display 16 and the exposure display 56 are arranged to be stacked back to back, but the layout of the image display 16 and the exposure display 56 is not limited to this. For example, the film loading chamber 50 may be disposed so as to be separated therefrom. In this case, when the instant film package box 100 is loaded in the film loading chamber 50, the image display 16 and the exposure display 56 are disposed with the instant film 110 interposed therebetween.

Fig. 19 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a digital camera with a printer in which an image display monitor and an exposure monitor are arranged with an instant film package interposed therebetween.

Fig. 19 shows an example in which the image display 16 is disposed on the film cover 14. In this way, by disposing the image display 16 on the film cover 14, the image display 16 and the exposure display 56 are disposed through the instant film package 100.

By disposing the image display 16 and the exposure display 56 with the instant film package 100 interposed therebetween, the light shielding wall can be omitted.

< modification of imaging unit >

A plurality of image pickup units may be provided. For example, the camera body 10 may be provided on the front surface and the rear surface, respectively. Further, the imaging unit may be rotatably held by the camera body and the imaging direction may be arbitrarily adjusted.

< modification of instant film >

The instant film to be used is not limited to a single sheet type, and an instant film of a tear type or the like may be used.

< modification of louver plates >

In the above embodiment, the louver plates serving as the light-outgoing-direction regulating members are configured in a two-layer structure, but the louver plates serving as the light-outgoing-direction regulating members may be provided with at least a light-outgoing-direction regulating layer.

In the light outgoing direction restriction layer, the light transmitting portion may be at least capable of allowing light to pass therethrough. Therefore, the light-transmitting portion may be formed of a cavity, and the cruising direction restricting layer may be formed of only the light-shielding portion.

In the light outgoing direction regulating layer, the light shielding portion may be made of a material that absorbs light or a material that reflects light. The light shielding portion can be made of a colored resin material, for example, black silicone rubber or the like. As a material that absorbs light, a neutral density filter (nd (neutral density) filter) can be used. The ND filter is a filter having neutral optical density, and is a filter capable of uniformly absorbing (50% to 99.999% in terms of absorptance; 0.001% to 50% in terms of light transmittance) light in a wavelength region used for exposure without affecting the wavelength.

In the above embodiment, the light-emitting direction regulating layer of the louver plates is formed in a single layer, but the light-emitting direction regulating layer may be formed in a plurality of layers.

Fig. 20 is a view showing an example of louver plates in which the light emission direction regulating layer is formed of two layers.

As shown in fig. 20, the light-exiting direction regulating layer 64 of the louver plates 62 of this example has a two-layer structure. More specifically, the light-emitting device includes a 1 st light-emitting direction restriction layer 64y and a 2 nd light-emitting direction restriction layer 64 x.

The 1 st light-emitting-direction regulating layer 64y has a structure in which light-shielding portions 64y1 extending in the y direction are arranged at a constant pitch in the x direction. The light-shielding portions 64y1 adjacent to each other are formed of the light-transmitting portions 64y 2.

On the other hand, the 2 nd light-emitting-direction regulating layer 64x has a structure in which light-shielding portions 64x1 extending in the x direction are arranged at a constant pitch in the y direction. The light-shielding portions 64x1 adjacent to each other are configured by light-transmitting portions 64x 2.

The 1 st light emission direction regulating layer 64y and the 2 nd light emission direction regulating layer 64x are arranged to overlap each other, thereby constituting a grating-like light shielding portion as a whole. Such louver plates can be configured by overlapping the louver plates (louver films) constituting the 1 st light-emitting direction restricting layer 64y and the louver plates (louver films) constituting the 2 nd light-emitting direction restricting layer 64 x.

The pitch of the light-shielding portions (distance between adjacent light-shielding portions) in the light-outgoing direction regulating layer is preferably 80 μm or less, and more preferably 65 μm or less. By setting the range, light from each pixel of the exposure display in an oblique direction can be appropriately blocked, and a high-quality image can be recorded on the instant film.

The arrangement direction of the light-shielding portions in the light-emitting direction regulating layer does not necessarily need to coincide with the arrangement direction of the pixels of the exposure display. An angular difference can be provided between the arrangement direction of the light-shielding portions in the light-outgoing direction regulating layer and the arrangement direction of the pixels of the exposure display. By providing the angle difference, the occurrence of moire can be suppressed. The angular difference is preferably 1 to 45 degrees, more preferably 5 to 40 degrees, and still more preferably 10 to 35 degrees.

The thickness of the light extraction direction regulating layer is preferably 1.5mm or more and 4.0mm or less. More preferably 2.0mm or more and 4.0mm or less, and still more preferably 2.5mm or more and 4.0mm or less. By increasing the thickness of the light exit direction regulating layer, the light exit direction can be regulated more effectively. On the other hand, if the thickness of the light-emission direction regulating layer is increased, the recorded image is easily blurred. Therefore, the light exit direction regulating layer is preferably formed with a thickness in the above range. When the light exit direction regulating layer is formed of a plurality of layers, the thickness is the total thickness of the plurality of layers.

The protective layer is not necessarily required, but is preferably provided to include a light-emission direction regulating layer. The protective layer is not particularly limited as long as it is transparent and can pass light. For example, a plastic plate such as acrylic resin, polycarbonate, vinyl chloride resin, or the like can be used as the protective layer.

The thickness of the protective layer is preferably 0.1 μm or more and 500 μm or less. By setting the thickness of the protective layer to 0.1 μm or more, the effect of protecting the light extraction direction regulating layer and the effect of making the moire less noticeable are obtained. Further, there is an effect of making the image defect generated by the defect or structure of the light-emitting direction regulating layer less noticeable. Further, the thickness of the protective layer is set to 500 μm or less, whereby blurring of the recorded image can be prevented.

< modification of image processing for printing >

In order to print a higher quality image, a predetermined image processing may be performed on the exposure image, that is, the image displayed on the exposure display. For example, considering that the density difference of the recorded image may be reduced more than that of the display image, a process of increasing (enhancing) a high-frequency component (edge portion) of the display image in advance, that is, a so-called edge enhancement process may be performed. As the edge enhancement processing, for example, a known method such as unsharp mask processing can be used.
