Abstract
A light emitting element array in an electronic photographing apparatus, in which a photoconductor drum is exposed to a light from a light emitting array having a plurality of light emitting diodes to form a latent image on the drum, and a high quality, stable light image can be deposited on the photoconductor drum from a light emitting array, even after extended use. The constitution is such that a fixed bracket 31 is fixedly mounted on the electronic photographing apparatus, a rotatable bracket 33 is rotatably mounted on the fixed bracket and fixedly secured to the light emitting element array 2, a bias means 37 urges the light emitting element array 2 against the outer surface of the photoconductor drum 1, a space keeping means 38 is pushed by the bias means against the outer surface of the photoconductor drum so as to maintain a constant distance between the light emitting element array and the outer surface of the photoconductor drum 1.
