Abstract:
An image sensor including: light guides for irradiating light onto an irradiated object; a lens that focuses reflected light that was reflected by the irradiated object; a sensor that receives the reflected light that was focused by the lens; and a housing. The housing houses or holds the light guides, the lens, and the sensor, and is formed by integrating a housing metal portion and a housing resin portion.
Abstract:
An image sensor module includes: a sensor IC having light receivers arranged in a main scanning direction; a lens unit configured to form an image on the sensor IC with light transferred from a read target; a first light source unit having a first output surface extending along the main scanning direction and outputting a first linear light extending along the main scanning direction from the first output surface toward the read target, the first output surface being placed at a position spaced apart from the lens unit in a sub-scanning direction; and a second light source unit having a second output surface extending along the main scanning direction and outputting a second linear light extending along the main scanning direction from the second output surface toward the read target, the second output surface being placed between the lens unit and the first output surface in the sub-scanning direction.
Abstract:
Light guides emit light from the side surface thereof toward the subject to be read, the light emitted to one end surface of each of the light guides. A frame is frame shaped, the frame houses the light guides and a lens, the frame including light guide holders that support a first to-be-supported section on the side surface of the light guides. A cover covers at least a part of one opening of the frame, and does not restrict light from passing through between the light guides and the subject to be read, the cover including light guide holders that support a second to-be-supported section opposite of the first to-be-supported section on the side surface of the light guides. The light guides are fixed inside the frame by the flange portion including the light guide holders provided by the frame and the light guide holders provided by the cover.
Abstract:
A sensor IC of the present invention is provided with plurality of light receiving portions arranged in a row along a primary scanning direction and including a first light receiving portion for receiving light of a first wavelength, a second light receiving portion for receiving light of a second wavelength different from the first wavelength, and a third light receiving portion for receiving light of a third wavelength different from the first wavelength and the second wavelength. The sensor IC further includes a control circuit that outputs a first electric signal corresponding to light of the first wavelength received by the first light receiving portion, a second electric signal corresponding to light of the second wavelength received by the second light receiving portion, and a third electric signal corresponding to light of the third wavelength received by the third light receiving portion.
Abstract:
A document illumination device includes a light-conducting member in which is formed a base surface that extends along a lengthwise direction, an irradiation surface that extends along the lengthwise direction and is tilted in the widthwise direction relative to the base surface, and a side surface that extends in the lengthwise direction and connects the base surface to the irradiation surface; a scattering member that is provided opposing the base surface and the side surface and that scatters light emitted from the base surface and the side surface; and a light source provided opposing a lengthwise direction-end surface of the light-conducting member.
Abstract:
Since a light emitting surface in a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of a light guide is formed to have a smaller width than a reflecting surface, light of an LED, which is incident from an end surface of the light guide and is scattered throughout the entirety of the longitudinal direction in the reflecting surface, is condensed toward the light emitting surface, and is then emitted in the form of a band toward a document from the light emitting surface. Therefore, it is possible to provide a CIS module including an illumination unit having a new configuration capable of illuminating a portion where the document and an optical axis of the lens array included in the lens unit intersect, in the form of a band with high efficiency using the illumination unit.
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.
