    Abstract: An optical writing device adopting a low cost and simple structure can obtain temperatures of light emitting elements. The device comprises a plurality of light emitting elements arranged linearly in a main scanning direction. The amount of light emitting of the light emitting elements changes by self-generated heat. The light emitting elements are divided into a plurality of groups. Each of the groups includes a prescribed number of light emitting elements. The device comprises a control unit for calculating the amount of heat generation of the light emitting elements for each of groups from clock time t0 to clock time t0+Δt. The control unit calculates the temperature for each of the groups at the clock time t0+Δt, based on the amount of heat generation from the clock time t0 to the clock time t0+Δt and the temperature at the clock time t0.

    Abstract: A print head includes a platform with a face whose portion covered with a heat conductor includes a heat release section, which is deformed relative to a substantially flat portion of the face of the platform to be located at a smaller distance from the surface of the chip in a direction normal to the face at a side near to the light emission area in the longitudinal direction of the light source panel than at another side far from the light emission area. Alternatively, the heat conductor, when disconnected from the face of the platform, is thicker at a side near to the light emission area in the longitudinal direction of the light source panel than at another side far from the light emission area.

    Abstract: An optical writing device including: a current-driven light-emitting element; a thin film transistor configured to supply the light-emitting element with a drive current based on a luminance signal to put the light-emitting element in an on state; and a controller configured to, for each line of an image page, correct a first value of the luminance signal to yield a second value of the luminance signal, and to supply the thin film transistor with the luminance signal at the second value. The second value compensates for a light amount fluctuation of the light-emitting element that is dependent upon an emission/non-emission history, from an initial line of the image page to the line, of a first continuous period where the light-emitting element is kept in the on state and a second continuous period where the light-emitting period is kept in an off state.
