<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a recording apparatus in which a fault is less likely to occur in a light emitting element constituting a light irradiation unit and with which recording can be continued if a fault does occur during recording. <P>SOLUTION: This recording apparatus includes: a recording head 15 having a nozzle row 5 that discharges a photoreactive liquid C onto a recording target material; and a light irradiation unit 19 including a light emitting element row 39 having therein a plurality of light emitting elements 41 aligned in the same direction as a nozzle row 5, the light emitting elements being configured to apply light to the photoreactive liquid to cause the photoreactive liquid to undergo a chemical change. The light irradiation unit includes a plurality of the light emitting element rows 39 arranged therein. Respective light emitting element 41 of each of the light emitting element rows 39 are partially or entirely connected in series in a row direction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
