The cost of a light-emitting element matrix array is reduced by implementing a function equivalent to a light-emitting thyristor by elements different therefrom. A plurality of combinational element are arrayed in one line. The plurality of combinational elements are divided into groups n by n. The bases of transistors included in each group are separately connected to base-selecting lines and the anodes of light-emitting diodes included in each group are commonly connected to one anode terminal every group.

A process of manufacture has the steps of forming a metal film on the insulating substrate, applying photoresist on the metal film, exposing the photoresist to light to form a photoresist pattern by developing, etching the metal film with the photoresist pattern as an etching mask, forming an insulating film on the insulating substrate by making the insulating substrate with the photoresist pattern contact a liquid-phase deposition treatment liquid, and removing the photoresist pattern or the combination of the photoresist pattern and the insulating film thereon. Through these steps, the metal film for use as the metal wiring to effect contact with the electrode of the TFT is buried in the surface of the insulating substrate. Consequently, the resistance of the metal wiring can greatly be reduced. Thereby, it is produced a thin film transistor capable of rendering an large area, large capacity display possible and free from a difference in level.

A self-scanning light-emitting device is provided in which the amounts of light of light-emitting elements may be corrected to make the distribution of amounts of light in a luminescent chip or among luminescent chips uniform. The correction for amounts of light of light-emitting elements may be carried out by regulating the time duration of on-state of a light-emitting element or the voltage of a write signal applied to a light-emitting element. According to the present invention, the distribution of amounts of light becomes uniform, so that the printing quality of a printer using such self-scanning light-emitting device is improved.

A method for setting the amount of light in an array of light-emitting thyristors, each thyristor having I-L characteristic in which a luminous efficiency is decreased in a lower current field, is provided. According to the method, the amount of light emitted from a light-emitting thyristor is set so that a predetermined exposure energy may be obtained without decreasing a luminous efficiency of a light-emitting thyristor. The density D of a current to be supplied to the light-emitting thyristor to obtain a predetermined exposure energy is selected so as to satisfy the range of 3×Dth

A method of designing an optimum mask pattern for forming a metal line by an etching process, the metal line also effectively serving as a light-shielding layer, is provided. In this method, assuming that a mask pattern for forming a first metal line on a transparent insulating film has a width of “L1” overlapped with a first control electrode in a direction perpendicular to an array direction of of transfer elements, “L1” is selected so as to satisfy the following relation L1>(S+dS)+a, wherein “S” is the distance of side etching of the first metal line, “dS” is the dispersion of the distance of the side etching, and “a” is the misalignment of the mask pattern.

A self-scanning, light-emitting device comprises an array of cells or blocks each having a self-scanning transfer element and a light-emitting element. Turn-on state of the transfer element is transferred to the subsequent transfer element in synchronism with clock pulses. Each light-emitting element is connected to the corresponding transfer element so as to emit light upon supplying current under an ON state of the transfer element. The light-emitting array generates a light image in accordance with a light emission current.

In an optical write head, a rod lens array, a substrate support member for supporting a substrate, and a driver circuit board are fixedly held by a support member. The support member and the substrate support member are formed from metallic material, and a frame of the rod lens array is formed from a glass plate. Further, distance between a light-emitting section of a light-emitting device array and a light-incident end face of the rod lens array is adjusted, by means of rotating eccentric pins. Further, light-emitting device array chips are die-bonded on the substrate bonded at predetermined positions on the substrate support member while the position of the substrate support member is taken as a reference plane.
