Abstract

The invention provides the technology for inhibiting bad exposure caused by different speckle formation positions in the first direction. An image formation device of the invention comprises a latent image supporting body moving in the first direction (SD), an exposure head (29) with a first imaging optical system (LS_1), a second imaging optical system (LS_2) arranged on the first direction side of the first imaging optical system (LS_1), a luminous element gives light to the first imaging optical system to image on the latent image supporting body and gives light to the second imaging optical system to image the latent image supporting body, and a control part for controlling the quantity of light given by the luminous element for the first imaging optical system (LS_1) to image on the latent image supporting body according to the imaging property of the first imaging optical system (LS_1).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an exposure head that emits light from a light-emitting element to form a spot, and an image forming apparatus using the exposure head. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is known a technique of exposing an image surface such that a line head (exposure head) forms spots on an image surface moving in a sub-scanning direction. In addition, as such a line head, for example, a line head described in Patent Document 1, in which a plurality of light emitting elements are arranged in a line in a main scanning direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to a sub scanning direction, can be used. That is, in an exposure operation using such a line head, a plurality of light emitting elements of the line head emit light to form a plurality of spots arranged in the main scanning direction on the image plane. And, such a spot forming operation is repeatedly performed so that the entire image plane is exp...
