ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a small optical writing head, such as an organic EL array exposure head, having long work distance with little crosstalk, a method of manufacturing the same, and an image forming apparatus using the same. The optical writing head is an optical writing head which projects fluxes of modulated light from light-emitting parts2of a light-emitting element array such as an organic EL array or fluxes of modulated light transmitted through shutter parts2of an optical shutter element array onto an image carrier11to form a predetermined pattern on the image carrier11. The optical writing head comprises ball lenses10which are arranged such that the alignment of the ball lenses10corresponds to the alignment of the light-emitting parts2of the light-emitting element array or the shutter parts2of the optical shutter element array.
