Abstract
A printing system includes a liquid crystal shutter matrix panel, a light source for illuminating the liquid crystal shutter matrix panel from its back, and a photosensitive medium disposed in confronting relation to the illuminating means with the liquid crystal shutter matrix panel interposed therebetween. A positioning unit positions the liquid crystal shutter matrix panel and the photosensitive medium longitudinally and transversely with respect to each other. An image data generator generates image data from a desired image. The shutter of the liquid crystal shutter matrix panel is driven by a liquid crystal driver on the basis of the image data generated by the image data generator. An image formed by the liquid crystal shutter matrix panel is focused onto the photosensitive medium by a focusing optical system, thereby reproducing the image on the photosensitive medium.
