摘要:
The invention is directed to the provision of an exposure apparatus that can determine a correction value for each individual light-emitting part by employing a method that detects the amount of light corresponding to one particular light-emitting part from composite light containing light rays from adjacent light-emitting parts, and also to the provision of a method for producing such an exposure apparatus. The production method according to the invention comprises the steps of lighting a plurality of light-emitting parts at the same time, detecting an output light-amount distribution across all of the plurality of light-emitting parts by making measurements using a line-like light-receiving device, detecting a peak position corresponding to each light-emitting part by using the output light-amount distribution; detecting the amount of light of each light-emitting part based on the peak position, and determining, based on the amount of light of each light-emitting part, the correction value for correcting nonuniformity in the amount of light of the light-emitting part.

The invention is directed to the provision of an exposure apparatus in which is stored an electric current value appropriately determined for supply to a light-emitting device, and a method for producing such an exposure apparatus. The production method according to the invention comprises the steps of supplying a reference electric current to the light-emitting device, and measuring the amount of light from each of the plurality of pixels of the light modulating device, determining whether a minimum value among the amounts of light measured from the plurality of pixels lies within a predetermined range, and determining the value of the electric current to be supplied to the light-emitting device so that the minimum value of the amounts of light falls within the predetermined range when the minimum value of the amounts of light is outside the predetermined range.

An improved print head for a dot matrix printer is provided. The printing is performed by wires projecting from said print head. The movement of the wires is controlled by the movement of armatures which contact an armature base. The construction of the base from a liquid crystal polymer or an aromatic series polyester resin results in improved vibration damping which in turn results in quieter printer operation.

A printing head for a dot matrix printer is disclosed which facilitates assembly and disassembly and improves printing quality.The printing head has a plurality of hammers carrying respective printing wires, a plurality of coils each of which corresponds to each of the hammers, and a permanent magnet for retaining the hammers at the standing positions thereof, so that the magnetic flux of the permanent magnet is cancelled by exciting the coils so as to release the hammers, thereby driving the printing wires by virtue of the elasticity of the hammers. The printing head includes an annular base which is provided with, at the outer portion thereof, a hammer mounting portion for securing a plurality of hammer base portions, at the inner portion thereof, a plurality of implanted columnar cores around which respective coils are wound, and a short-circuiting portion which constitutes the closed magnetic circuits of the respective coils in cooperation with respective hammers. The permanent magnet is attached to the outside of the short-circuiting portion and the hammer mounting portions at the outer periphery of the base. The printing head is sub-assembled before the attachment of the permanent magnet.
