Zusammenfassung:An exposure apparatus for an image forming apparatus is provided, the exposure apparatus being downsized by reducing the substrate on which a row of light emitting elements are provided in size in the sub-scanning direction. The exposure apparatus comprises a glass substrate, a row of light emitting elements constituted by multiple organic EL elements on the glass substrate, and a drive control unit for receiving from outside the glass substrate control signals for driving the organic EL elements and controlling the drive of the light emitting elements based on the control signals, wherein the drive control unit is at least partly placed on the extended line of the row of light emitting elements.
