Abstract

PURPOSE:To contrive to enhance speed, by a method wherein a few light- emitting diode (LED) array units are arranged, and a plurality of lines are simultaenously drawn by graded-type optical fibers. CONSTITUTION:At a part exposed to light by the LED arrays, a plurality of lines can be simultaneously printed by a plurality of LED arrays 31-33. In the inside part of each of the graded-type optical fibers 101-103, the refractive index is varied in the form of a quadric curve with the center thereof as the apex of the curve, so that each of the fibers 101-103 has a focusing function similar to that of a lens. When each of the fibers 101-103 has a focal distance of 10mm. and an aperture of 2mm. and one end thereof is spaced from a light- emitting surface of the LED array 31-33 by 10mm. while the other end is spaced from a light-conductive drum 1 by about 10mm. so that a focused image becomes, for example, 0.1mm. in size, a plurality of lines can be simultaneously drawn in a minute distance by using large-sized LED arrays.
