Abstract
An optical head includes a light-emitting board which emits light, an attachment base which includes a first opening formed in an area overlapping the light-emitting board, a second opening formed in an area different from the area overlapping the light-emitting board and a through-hole to connect the first opening and the second opening, and to which the light-emitting board is fixed, and a lens to condense the light emitted from the light-emitting board to a photoreceptor.
Claims20
An optical head comprising:
- a light-emitting board which emits light;
- an attachment base which includes a first opening formed in an area overlapping the light-emitting board, a second opening formed in an area different from the area overlapping the light-emitting board and a through-hole to connect the first opening and the second opening, and to which the light-emitting board is fixed;
- and
- a lens which condenses the light emitted from the light-emitting board to a photoreceptor.
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a photoreceptor;
- a light-emitting board which emits light to the photoreceptor charged by a charging unit charging a surface of the photoreceptor;
- an attachment base which includes a first opening formed in an area overlapping the light-emitting board, a second opening formed in an area different from the area overlapping the light-emitting board and a through-hole to connect the first opening and the second opening, and to which the light-emitting board is fixed;
- a lens which condenses the light emitted from the light-emitting board to the photoreceptor;
- and
- a developing unit which supplies a developer to the photoreceptor.
A method of manufacturing an optical head, comprising:
- placing a light-emitting board which emits light on an area of an attachment base where a first opening is formed;
- sucking from a second opening of the attachment base connected to the first opening through a through-hole to cause the light-emitting board to be adsorbed to the attachment base;
- and
- adhering an adhesive to the light-emitting board and the attachment base.
