Abstract
In an image recording apparatus, shift times for shifting switching timings of light modulator elements are obtained so that rise times (U) after input of output start signals to driving elements connected to respective light modulator elements of a spatial light modulator and fall times (D) after input of output stop signals become a constant target rise time (U) and a constant target fall time (D). This makes it possible to suppress unevenness of the rise times and the fall times after correction of light amounts even if light modulator elements where the rise times and the fall times change by correction of light amounts are used and consequently, an image can be appropriately recorded without a complicate apparatus.
