OPTICAL SCANNER, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS EQUIPPED WITH OPTICAL SCANNER AND METHOD OF FIXING LASER DIODE

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To sufficiently secure the supporting strength for a laser diode. PSOLUTION: The optical scanner includes the laser diode 201 and a holding part 221 which holds the laser diode 201. The holding part 221 has an upper open part 223 and a lower open part 224 on the upper and the lower part of the holding part, respectively. The laser diode 201 is fixed on the holding part via an ultraviolet ray curing resin 222 provided at around prescribed positions of the respective open parts. The ultraviolet ray curing resin 222 is provided at a plurality of positions around at least one open part. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
