<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve downsizing in the direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of light emitting elements so as to downsize a drive device, an LED array, an LED head, and an image forming apparatus having them. <P>SOLUTION: A driver IC DRV1 is a drive device which outputs a drive signal which subjects a plurality of light emitting elements to time division drive and has terminals VDD<SB>7</SB>, VDD<SB>8</SB>, and VDD<SB>9</SB>into which control signals for driving the light emitting elements are input, print data output terminals DATAO3 to 0, a terminal KDRV, a terminal STB, a terminal VREF, a terminal GND, a terminal CLK, a terminal LOAD, a terminal HSYNC, print data input terminals DATAI3 to 0, and a plurality of output terminals D01, D02, ..., D048 which are connected to LED elements and output drive signals from the signals input to the input terminals. The input terminal group and the output terminals D01, D02, ..., D048 are approximately linearly disposed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
