Claim:
1. A light-emitting apparatus comprising: a first array-shaped light emitter in which first light-emitting elements are placed in an array; a second array-shaped light emitter in which second light-emitting elements are placed in an array, such that the first and second array-shaped light emitters are arranged in substantially parallel with each other to have an overlapping portion where a part of an area where the first array-shaped light emitter is capable of forming an image and a part of an area where the second array-shaped light emitter is capable of forming an image are overlapped with each other, wherein the first and second array-shaped light emitters collectively form a line image based on a pixel pattern of bit map data including multiple pixel data; a division unit that: a controller that allocates the first and second partial bit map data to the first and second array-shaped light emitters, respectively, and controls the first and second array-shaped light emitters based on the first and second partial bit map data.
