きるようになっている。In this proposed device, the light emitted from the light emitting chip 15 is blocked by the light shielding member 13 in a rectangular shape, and the light beam is focused by the lens member 14 to illuminate the image carrier. The luminous flux for static elimination can be sharply cut at the boundary with the area, and deterioration of image quality near this boundary can be prevented. Furthermore, the provision of the slit member 17 has the following effects. That is, although a large number of LEDs 23 are arranged in a straight line, each LED
Since the D23 are arranged individually, if the position of each LED 23 varies in the direction perpendicular to the array as shown in FIG. 9, the area illuminated by each LED 23 will be perpendicular to the array as shown in FIG. As a result, the edge of the portion where the charge is removed by the irradiation light is not straight and becomes uneven. Therefore, by using the slit member 17, the LED
23 in the direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction, and as shown in FIG. It has become.

イ18及びレンズアレイ19となっている。The light emitting elements 15 are composed of LED light emitting chips, and the light emitting chips 15 are fixedly arranged in a straight line at regular intervals on the elongated printed circuit board 12 by direct bonding to form an LED array. Here, the position of the light-emitting chip depends on the accuracy of attachment by direct bonding, and higher positional accuracy can be obtained than, for example, when individually arranging LED lamps. Therefore, variations in the direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of one light emitting chip are extremely small. Further, the light shielding member 13 and the lens member 14 are also arranged as a light shielding member array 18 and a lens array 19 in one-to-one correspondence with the light emitting chips 15.

Note that the inward flange portion is not necessarily required here, and it is sufficient that a rectangular opening is formed even in the shape shown in FIG. The light emitting chip 15 is fixed to the printed circuit board 12 of the LED array with the light emitting chip 15 housed therein.

。Further, the lens array 19 is formed by integrally forming lens members 14, which are convex lenses made of synthetic resin such as acrylic, glass, or the like, arranged in a straight line as shown in FIG. This lens array 19 includes each lens member 1
The light shielding member array 18 is disposed in contact with the front surface of the light shielding member array 18 so that the optical axis C of the light shielding member array 18 passes through the center of the opening 22 of the light shielding member 13. At this time, the light emitting chip 15 of the LED array is of course located on the optical axis C. The above lens member 1
4 is for reducing the spread angle θ of the light beam irradiated from the opening 22 of the light shielding member 13 and irradiating it onto the image carrier 6, increasing the illuminance of the light irradiated onto the image carrier 6 and There is a method of increasing the distance L7 between the lens member 14 and the image carrier 6 to prevent a decrease in the amount of light due to toner or the like floating around the image carrier 6 adhering to the lens member 14.

By the way, using an LED light emitting chip with a wave i of 610 nm, the material of the lens member 14 has a refractive index of 1.
.. When acrylic material No. 5 is used, an example of the dimensions of each part is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. Each light emitting chip 1

ない。In the above configuration, in the illumination device according to the present invention, the surface of the image carrier is illuminated as follows. That is, the light beam emitted from the first light emitting chip 2 is blocked by the light shielding member 3. This irradiation light beam is irradiated only from the opening 22 in a rectangular shape, and this irradiation light beam is narrowed down to a small spread angle θ by the lens member 14, and has linear edges parallel to each other along the arrangement direction of the light emitting chips 15. The irradiation light is irradiated onto the image carrier 6 in a rectangular shape. Note that since the side wall portion 20 of the light shielding member 13 exists between the light emitting chips 15, the light from one light emitting chip 15 leaks to the adjacent light shielding member 13 side, and the light from the adjacent light emitting chip 15 leaks to the adjacent light shielding member 13 side. The light does not enter the lens member 14 corresponding to the chip 15.

、それ以外の部分には光がまったく照射されない。In this way, the light beam emitted from the light source I5 is shaped into a rectangular light beam by the light shielding member 13, and then narrowed down by the lens member 14 to a small spread angle θ, forming straight edges parallel to each other. The image carrier 6 is illuminated in a rectangular shape with high illuminance, and no other light beams reach the image carrier 6. Therefore, the surface of the image carrier 6 is exposed to the opening of the light shielding member 13. It is illuminated in a rectangular shape similar to 22, and no other parts are illuminated with light at all.

よい。Therefore, each light emitting chip 15 . By setting the positions and shapes of the light shielding member 13 and the lens member 14, the light amount distribution on the surface of the image carrier 6 is such that no light leaks into one image area A and only the non-image area B, as shown in FIG. can be sharply illuminated with high illuminance, and even the light intensity at the valley portion of the light intensity distribution is higher than the level required to neutralize the image carrier 6, so that the non-image area B is uniformly neutralized. Note that the regions illuminated by adjacent light emitting chips 15 may overlap each other.

勿論である。In the illustrated embodiment, a case has been described in which the non-image area B exists only on one side of the image area A on the image carrier 6, but there is a non-image area B on both sides of the image area A on the image carrier 6. Of course, this embodiment can be applied even when a region exists.

However, the illumination device of this embodiment is not limited to this. may be used in an image forming apparatus having an editing function.

分を除電するようにしてもよい。In this case, by arranging a plurality of illumination devices of this embodiment in the axial direction of the image carrier and changing the light emission timing of one light emitting element, it is possible to eliminate static electricity from any part of the image carrier, such as the area where the image is to be erased. You can also do this.

Since each light-emitting element is integrally fixed to the same substrate, the light-emitting chips arranged in a straight line can be arranged accurately without variation in the direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction. This makes it possible to reliably prevent variations in the direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the irradiated light without using a slit member as in the past, reducing the number of parts and effectively utilizing the light flux passing through the lens member. can.
