ABSTRACT:
An image recording apparatus having therein an image recording section includes: a light emitting dot row provided on a base plate and having thereon anodes arranged in a form of an array of a single row or a plurality of rows and having phosphors provided on the anodes; a cathode provided apart from the light emitting dot row, electrons emitted from the cathode colliding on the phosphors thereby the phosphors emit light; a grid which covers at least a part of the base plate in the vicinity of at least the light emitting dot row; an image focusing optical system having a focal depth of 350 .mu.m for focusing light emitted from the light emitting dot row on an image recording position; a driving element for driving the light emitting dot row so that the light emitting dot row emits light; and a conveyance device which conveys the light emitting dot row or an image recording medium so that the image recording medium moves relatively to the light emitting dot row.
