Abstract
An exposure device includes an exposure member, a positioning member, and a movement restricting member. The exposure member includes multiple light-emitting devices arranged along a first direction, which is an axial direction of an image carrier that rotates. The exposure member exposes the image carrier to light by emitting light in a second direction, which is a direction from the multiple light-emitting devices to the image carrier. The positioning member determines a position of the exposure member in the second direction relative to the image carrier by causing the exposure member to abut against the image carrier in the second direction. The movement restricting member is disposed on an end portion of the exposure member in the first direction and restricts movement of the exposure member relative to the positioning member.
