DRAWING DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a drawing device, with which the gradation of an image and the width of printing elements are more finer drawn, in the drawing device, in which the beams emitted from a laser beam source or a light emitting diode element is scanningly exposed so as to draw a dot image such as characters, figures, photographs or the like on a photosensitive material. SOLUTION: This device is so constituted as to form a dot image on a photosensitive material 50 by being scanningly exposed with the beams emitted from a laser beam source or a light emitting diode element. In this case, the device is equipped with an exposing light source 10 having the light intensity distribution, in which the light intensity of exposing beam at the surface of the photosensitive material 50 becomes gradually lower as it becomes further from the beam center, and a light intensity varying means 20, which varies the light intensity at the surface of the photosensitive material, which is given with the exposing light source 1 so as to vary the light intensity of the exposing light source by one pixel unit with the light intensity varying means 20 in order to control the magnitude of the dot of the dot image.
