Image recording apparatus with an array light source

摘要

An image recording apparatus has an array light source having a plurality of light-emitting elements arrayed in a predetermined density; a photosensitive member exposed by light beams emitted from said plural light-emitting elements so that images are recorded by fixing the traveling path of said light beams from said plural light-emitting elements to said photosensitive member and by moving the relative positions between said photosensitive member and said array light source; a beam-converging unit which converges a bundle of said light beams emitted from said light-emitting elements onto a beam-conversion point; and an focusing unit disposed between said beam-converging means and said photosensitive member, which images said light beams emitted from said plural of light-emitting elements and converged by said beam-converging means onto said photosensitive member.
