Abstract
A drying device is provided and includes: plural light emitting units that are disposed with intervals along a transport direction in which a transported body containing liquid is transported and that cause the liquid to be evaporated by irradiating the transported body with light; and a vent mechanism in which a supply unit and a discharge unit are alternately disposed in spaces on an upstream side and a downstream side of the entirety of the plural light emitting units in the transport direction and spaces between the light emitting units along the transport direction. The supply unit supplies air toward the transported body along the irradiating direction of the light, and the discharge unit discharges air in an opposite direction to the irradiating direction from the transported body side.
