Abstract: A light guide inserted into an inclined groove is disposed so as to partially overlap with a lens unit that is fitted into a concave groove disposed parallel to the inclined groove when seen in a plan view, to regulate the separation of the lens unit from the concave groove and hold the lens unit in an insertion state by the light guide. Therefore, a fixing unit such as an adhesive agent is not required in fixedly disposing the light guide and the lens unit at a predetermined position of a frame, and a CIS module is assembled without using an adhesive agent, thereby allowing the CIS module that is easily disassembled when being discarded and that improves recycling efficiency to be provided.

Abstract: A light source unit emits light for irradiating a document. A light guide in which light emitted from the light source unit propagates has a first exit part for emitting light to the document and a second exit part, which is a different part from the first light part, for emitting light to the outside. A corrective light receiver is disposed in an area receiving direct light of the light emitted from the second exit part, and outputs reference data corresponding to the direct light. A controller compares predetermined criterion data with the reference data output from the corrective light receiver, and performs processing for correcting a bright output based on a result of the comparison.

Abstract: An illumination device includes a light guide made of plastic, and a light source including a light emitting element whose dominant wavelength is a light emission wavelength in an infrared region, and identifies a banknote. White reference plates are provided at positions that are at opposite ends of a rod lens array and cover respective areas external to an image region across the banknote. A correction coefficient is acquired by calculation. The calculation is made by correcting an illuminance such that IR correction data is substantially identical to IR reference data preliminarily stored in a memory circuit in a signal processor on the basis of IR white reference data representing a white reference illuminance generated from light reflected from the white reference plates. The correction coefficient is used for correcting IR image data when the banknote is read.
