Abstract: An optical scanner system wherein the central region of the light source is selectively covered up by a mechanically actuated shutter during a transparency scanning mode. By occluding the central portion of the light source, problems with flare and degraded image quality are eliminated. The shutter is actuated to its two positions (normal reflective mode position, transparency mode position) by pins, protrusions, or the scanner walls in the scan module path. When the scan module is driven to the extremes of its travel the shutter is either driven open or closed. A bracket structure is provided to hold the transparent media and a covering light reflective tent, and can include the pin or pins that can protrude into the scanner module path and thus actuate the shutter only when the structure is mounted on to the scanner by the user. The bracket structure can include a lower member that rests directly on the platen glass to align filmstrips, slides, and other transparent media. The tent structure is hinged relative to the lower structure which allows it to be opened and closed to enable insertion of transparent media. When the tent structure is closed it acts as the reflective light path to allow light from the primary light source to be reflected up, over, and down through the transparent media, and into the optical light path leading to the optical sensor.

Abstract: A sensor chip arranged in a casing having a window portion on the side thereof to be faced to a medium to be read takes in the form of a single long chip. In particular, a single long and seamless sensor chip having a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements arranged thereon throughout a length of the window portion of the casing is mounted on a long supporting substrate having a length long enough to support the whole sensor chip.

Abstract: A hand-held scanning device is disclosed in which the scanning device housing window has a recessed optical portion of the window formed such that the recessed optical portion of the window does not come into contact with the object being scanned while a scan is being performed. This recessed optical portion of the window eliminates damage caused by contact with the object being scanned to the optical portion of the window. The recessed portion of the window is formed without corners in such a manner that it may easily be wiped clean by the end user without dirt, dust and the like building up in corners of the recess. The recessed portion of the window is also formed in such a manner as to maintain the object in a relatively flat position under the scan window throughout the scanning process.

Abstract: An image sensor module includes a light source unit that emits a linear light beam elongate in a primary scanning direction to an object to be read, and a lens unit including an incidence surface and an output surface oriented opposite to each other. The lens unit is configured to receive light from the object through the incidence surface and output the light through the output surface. The module also includes a sensor IC that receives the light outputted from the output surface, a housing that holds the light source unit and the lens unit, and a support member that supports the lens unit such that the incidence surface is located more distant from the sensor IC than the output surface in a secondary scanning direction. The support member includes a reflection surface that reflects the light from the object toward the incidence surface.
