Abstract
It is an object to provide an image recording apparatus for recording an image of high resolution at a high speed. An electrostatic latent image is recorded onto a photosensitive material by using a recording head which has a plurality of switching elements which are arranged in an array shape and sequentially turn on the adjacent switching elements and light emission element arrays of a plurality of columns each of which is constructed by arranging light emission elements, in an array shape, which are connected to the switching elements and which are arranged in almost parallel, and in which each of the switching elements turns on the corresponding light emission element, so that the plurality of light emission elements are scanned. Developing means develops the electrostatic latent image and transfer means transfers the developed latent image onto a recording paper.
