An image exposure device includes an exposure head for forming a desired
pattern on a photosensitive material. The exposure head is equipped with
a light source for emitting a great number of light beams, a spatial
light modulator in which a great number of pixel portions are arranged
for independently modulating the light beams emitted from the light
source, a micro lens array in which a great number of micro lenses are
arranged for individually converging the great number of light beams
modulated by the pixel portions, and a total of two or more aperture
arrays arranged in the stage before the micro lens array and/or the stage
after the micro lens array. Each of the aperture arrays has a great
number of apertures for individually restricting the light beams.
