Abstract

An optical-address device, useful e.g. in electronic imaging, features (i) a lens array including a plurality of discrete lens means, each adapted to focus incident collimated light, from a plurality of different incidence directions, onto respectively different pixel spots of its associated multi-spot address zone (of a multi-zone, optical-address region) and (ii) light directing structure for sequentially illuminating the lens array with collimated light of different incidence directions. Printer apparatus, scanner apparatus and scanner/printer apparatus incorporating such optical-address device are disclosed.
