An image forming apparatus includes: a plurality of light-emitting elements, each light-emitting element receiving a driving current from a power supply and converting the current into a beam; a plurality of driving elements, each driving element being interposed between the power supply and each light-emitting element and controlling the driving current based on an image signal; and a photoconductor on which the beams from the plurality of light-emitting elements form an image by scanning, wherein each light-emitting element is positioned so immediately adjacent to each driving element that a power leakage factor floating therebetween is reduced, whereby an intensity of the beam is substantially equivalent to the image signal in waveform.

A light scanning controller includes a plurality of light scanning parts for forming a latent image on a photoconductor by irradiating it with a scanning laser beam, and a clock controller for generating a timing signal by using a single clock signal obtained from a master clock oscillator to transmit the timing signal to each of the light scanning parts which controls the timing of the scanning laser beam on the basis of the timing signal received from the clock controller.
