Abstract
An imaging apparatus ( ) having a multiple channel image exposure device ( ). Improved thermal compensation is achieved by means of mounting an array of light emitting elements ( ) on a printed circuit board ( ) having at least one thermal via ( ) for each light emitting element to thermally control the temperature of the light emitting element. Selected microcapsules ( ) within a photosensitive media ( ) are exposed with the multiple channel image exposure device to harden the desired microcapsules. Pressure applied to the exposed photosensitive media ruptures the unexposed microcapsule ( ), releasing the image-forming material ( ) encapsulated within to form an image on the photosensitive media.
