Abstract

See full text

A heating apparatus includes an emitter that emits light to a thermal expansion sheet that expands according to a heating amount absorbed, the light being converted into heat by the thermal expansion sheet; a relative mover that causes the thermal expansion sheet to move relative to the emitter in a predetermined direction or that causes the emitter to move relative to the thermal expansion sheet in the predetermined direction; and a controller that gradually changes an amount of the light emitted by the emitter according to a rise in temperature in the emitter, the rise in temperature being caused by the emission of light by the emitter, when the relative mover causes the thermal expansion sheet to move relative to the emitter in the predetermined direction or causes the emitter to move relative to the thermal expansion sheet in the predetermined direction while the light is being emitted by the emitter.
