1. A line exposure array comprising:
- an elongated substrate;
having a longitudinal axis anda plurality of light emitting elements disposed in spaced apart relation along the longitudinal axis of said substrate, each of said light emitting elements being defined by two substantially parallel spaced apart edge lines extending generally in directions parallel to the longitudinal axis of said substrate and interconnected at respective ends thereof by skewed edge lines extending in directions generally oblique to the longitudinal axis of said substrate.

Abstract
A line exposure array of light emitting diodes arranged in spaced apart relationship with respect to each other along the longitudinal axis thereof and geometrically configured to provide a substantially uniform exposure of a photosensitive material without underexposed stripes appearing on those areas of the photosensitive material immediately adjacent the spaces between the light emitting diodes.

6. In an electronic image recording apparatus responsive to an electrical signal input representative of a select image for recording that image by exposing a photosensitive material, said image recording apparatus comprising:
-
a line exposure array having a longitudinal axis and including a plurality of light emitting elements disposed in spaced apart relation along the longitudinal axis of said exposure array, each of said light emitting elements being defined by two substantially parallel spaced apart edge lines extending generally in directions parallel to the longitudinal axis of said line exposure array and interconnected at respective ends thereof by skewed edge lines extending in directions generally oblique to the longitudinal axis of said line exposure array; and means for holding said line exposure array in light exposing relationship across the photosensitive material and for effecting a relative displacement between said line exposure array and the photosensitive material in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of said exposure array to expose the entire surface of the photosensitive material. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
