Abstract (en)
An optical writing printer head which can efficiently utilize, for optical writing, energy irradiated by a light emitting source to form a clear latent image on photosensitive print paper is disclosed. An optical writing printer head is formed of a light emitting module and an aperture plate. The light emitting module is formed of LEDs for preexposure (11R1, 11G1, and 11B1) and LEDs for printing (11R2, 11G2, and 11B2, and , 11R3, 11G3, and 11B3). The pore size of beam restricting pores (12R1, 12G1, and 12B1) formed in the aperture plate 13 correspondingly to the light emitting sources for preexposure is larger than the resolution of the printer, and the pore size of the beam restricting pores (12R2, 12G2, and 12B2, and, 12R3, 12G3, and 12B3) formed in the aperture plate 13 correspondingly to the light emitting sources for printing is about the resolution of the printer. <IMAGE>
