Abstract: A light guide has a guide portion extending in a first direction. Light entering the guide portion through a first end is guided to a reading position. The guide portion has prisms provided on a bottom surface to be arranged in the first direction, and a turn-back member configured to turn light coming to a second end of the guide portion back toward the first end. Each of the prisms includes a first total-reflecting surface facing to the first end and a second total-reflecting surface facing to the second end. With respect to at least one of the prisms located within an area extending parallel to the first direction from the second end toward the first end by a predetermined distance, the angle of the first total-reflecting surface to the bottom surface is greater than the angle of the second total-reflecting surface to the bottom surface.

Abstract: A light guide includes a plurality of boss portions. A round hole portion is provided near the center of a base member for fixing the light guide, and slit portions are provided on both ends thereof. The round hole portion supports one boss portion in both the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction of the light guide. The slit portions support boss portions in the lateral direction of the light guide, but are free in the longitudinal direction of the light guide. That is, the center of the light guide is fixed from both directions, and thus both ends of the light guides can expand away in the longitudinal direction. This cuts the influence of expansion by half.

Abstract: A scanner module and an image scanning apparatus employ an illuminator that includes at least one light emitting diode, a light guide to change the direction of the light from the light emitting diode, and a light source holder to which the light emitting diode is mounted, the light source holder being positioned in relation to the light guide such that the light source holder covers an incidence face of the light guide, on which the light from the light source is incident, the surface of light source holder facing the incidence face reflecting light incident thereupon. The reflection of light by the light source holder reduces the possibility of leakage of light, and can enhance luminous intensity of light of the illuminator.
