EXPOSURE HEAD AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18076555 titled 'EXPOSURE HEAD AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an exposure head for an image forming apparatus. The exposure head includes two groups of light emitting boards and two lens arrays. The first group of light emitting boards contains multiple light emitting elements arranged side by side in a direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first lens array focuses the light emitted from the first group of light emitting boards onto the surface of the image bearing member. The second group of light emitting boards is separated from the first group in the first direction.

Original Abstract Submitted
An exposure head includes a first light emitting board group, a first lens array, a second light emitting board group, and a second lens array. The first light emitting board group is disposing a plurality of first light emitting boards each including a plurality of first light emitting elements disposed side by side in a second direction intersecting with the first direction. The plurality of first light emitting boards are disposed along the second direction and alternately in the first direction. The first lens array condenses light emitted from the plurality of first light emitting elements disposed on the first light emitting board group onto the surface of the image bearing member. The second light emitting board group is disposed in a manner separated with respect to the first light emitting board group in the first direction.
