An optical write-in head for obtaining a clear image even in printing at a relatively high recording density without generating strip-like irregularities in most cases. The optical write-in head applies light carrying image information to a photosensitive substance. The optical write-in head includes an array light source having a plurality of dot light sources, each of which selectively emits the light corresponding to the image information, and a lens array facing the array light source. The lens array has a plurality of lens elements which corresponds to the plurality of dot light sources respectively. An angular aperture θ of each of the lens elements is set in a range of about 14° to 18°.

In an image forming apparatus, an object surface (14) is disposed facing one end face of a rod lens array (10), while an image surface (16) is disposed facing the other end face thereof. A lens working distance of the rod lens array on the object side is substantially equal to that on the image side. An actual object-image distance Tco is set between the conjugate length TC1 at which the average value MTFave of the MTF of the rod lens array in the lens array direction is maximized and the conjugate length TC2 at which the &Dgr;MTF(=(MTFmax−MTFmin)/MTFave) is minimized, and a shift quantity &Dgr;TC(=|TCo−TC1|) is set within 0 mm

A method for driving a self-scanning light-emitting element array is provided in which two light-emitting elements may be illuminated simultaneously in one chip. In a self-scanning light-emitting element array including a transfer element array and light-emitting element array, a magnitude of the write signal for illuminating adjacent two light-emitting elements simultaneously is two times that of the write signal for illuminating one light-emitting element. The self-scanning light-emitting element array is composed of a plurality of self-scanning light-emitting element array chips arranged in a linear manner, and the two-phase clock pulses are applied commonly to the plurality of self-scanning light-emitting element array chips.

An erecting equal-magnification lens array plate comprises first and second lens array plates stacked on one another, a fourth surface light-shielding wall, and an intermediate light-shielding wall. An intermediate through hole formed in the intermediate light-shielding wall is formed such that the hole diameter is progressively smaller in a tapered fashion away from the first lens array plate toward the second lens array plate. An angle of inclination θ of an interior wall surface of the intermediate through hole with respect to a optical axis is given by θ≧tan−1(D4/(Gap+L2+H4))/2 where Gap denotes a gap between the lens array plates, L2 denotes a thickness of the second lens array plate, H4 denotes a height of the fourth surface light-shielding wall, and D4 denotes a diameter of the opening of the fourth surface through hole formed in the fourth surface light-shielding wall facing the image plane.

A miniaturized lens array for unity magnification imaging comprises a plurality of rod lenses arranged in one row. An arrangement pitch D of the rod lenses is defined to satisfy (2 m+1)·D≦2.1 mm or 2.5 mm. An angle of aperture &thgr; of the rod lens is defined to satisfy &agr;D/6×{n·cos−1(−&agr;/2/m)+(4 m2/&agr;2−1)1/2}≦&thgr;≦&agr;D/2×(4/m2/&agr;2−1)1/2. The arrangement pitch D and angle of aperture &thgr; are defined in this manner, and it is therefore possible to obtain the lens array whose difference between a total width and effective lens width is equal to or smaller than 2.1 mm or 2.5 mm.
