An exposure device having an array of a plurality of light emitting elements composed of at least an anode layer, a cathode layer and one or more organic compound layers interposed between the anode layer and the cathode layer all of which are formed on a substrate. In the exposure device, the quantity of light emitted from each light emitting element is made uniform by controlling the light emitting area of each light emitting element. Therefore, the exposure device eliminates differences in the quantity of emitted light among the plurality of light emitting elements without using a special drive circuit.

Provided is a light emitting apparatus capable of preventing light emitting elements made of an organic compound from being affected by moisture in an ambience, thereby increasing their lifetime, and suitably applicable to an exposure section of the electrophotographic method. Temperature sensors are set next to a light emitter array which is an array of many light emitting elements made of the organic compound. A drive control unit of the array is composed of CPU, ROM, RAM, and I/O ports. The CPU carries out control of each unit according to input data of image information etc. and also carries out pre-heat control for the light emitting elements. The temperature sensors detect the temperature of the light emitting elements and the CPU, receiving their detection output, turns the light emitting elements or a heating element provided separately, on and off so that a detected temperature value becomes a predetermined value in a waiting state without the input data. In the waiting state the light emitting elements generate heat per se to be kept at the predetermined temperature.

An exposure apparatus performs exposure of a photosensitive body by an array of light emitting devices to form an image as a latent image thereon. The array of light emitting devices incorporate micro-optical cavities. The micro-optical cavities limit wavelengths of light emitted from the array of light emitting devices, so that the wavelength at a peak of emitted light is in a half width region of sensitivity versus wavelength of the photosensitive body.

摘要:
A vacuum deposition apparatus capable of enhancing the productivity of an organic electroluminescence device is realized. A first pipe is connected to a deposition source for evaporating an organic electroluminescence material, and two second pipes are directed to two film deposition objects comprised of substrates and masks, whereby an organic deposition film is formed. Vapor is released simultaneously from the deposition source to plural film deposition objects on different planes to deposit films, which promotes the reduction in film deposition time and the miniaturization of an apparatus.
