A contact-type image sensor (20) comprises a case (21), a glass cover (22) provided on an upper surface of the case (21), a bottom substrate (23) mounted in a bottom surface of the case (21), light receiving elements (24) mounted on the bottom substrate, light emitting elements (25) for irradiating an object (D) on the glass cover (22) with light, and a rod lens array (27) for collecting the light reflected by the object (D) on the glass cover (22) onto the light receiving elements (24). The light emitting elements (25) are mounted on the bottom substrate (23). The contact-type image sensor further comprises a light guide (26) provided in the case (21) for efficiently directing the light from the light emitting elements (25) to a predetermined region (L) of the glass cover (22). The case (21) is formed with a holding groove (29) for receiving the rod lenses array (27) from above, and the light guide (26) has ends each formed with a tab (37) for pressing the rod lens array (26) from above.
Abstract:
A compact, low-cost photographic film scanner 10 particularly adapted to scanning Advance Photo System (APS) film includes an imaging assembly having an elongated L-shaped housing with a photosensor, for example, a CCD 66, mounted directly to one end of the housing, the other end having a scanning aperture and film rails 84 integrally formed on the housing, the film rails 84 defining a film plane 86 over the scanning aperture. The housing comprises a two piece snap together configuration that provides support for the focusing lens 77 as well the photosensor and film scan gate. Additionally, the housing includes support arms 120 that receive and lock in place an LED illuminant head assembly 200. The imaging apparatus housing 70 conveniently snap locks into place on the scanner chassis in an opening formed in the film drive path 38.
Abstract:
A contact-type image sensor (20) is provided with a case (21), a glass cover (22) fitted to the top face of the case (21), a bottom substrate (23) fitted to the bottom face of the case (21), a light receiving element (24) mounted on the substrate (23), a light emitting element (25) which projects light upon an object (D) on the cover (22), and a rod lens array (27) which focuses reflected light from the object (D) on the cover (22) on the element (24). The element (25) is mounted on the substrate (23) and a light guiding member (26) is additionally provided in the case (21) to effectively project the light from the element (25) upon a prescribed area of the cover (22).
Abstract:
An image sensor has a supporting member for integrally supporting a reading system including illuminating means for illuminating an original document, a photoelectrically converting means and imaging means for imaging light reflected by the surface of the original document onto the photoelectrically converting means, and has a member disposed on the side surface of the supporting member. The image sensor has two or more substantially independent spaces formed in the supporting member. The illuminating means, the imaging means and the photoelectrically converting means are accommodated in one of the spaces.
Abstract:
A contact-type linear image sensor has two separate substrates (l2, l4) aligned adjacent to each other A linear array (D) of amorphous silicon photoelectric converting elements serving as photoelectric cells and a matrix wiring unit (28) are provided on a first substrate (l2) Driver IC chips (34, 36) are mounted on a second substrate (l4) Connection pad patterns (20a) for common cell electrodes (20) of cell groups (Dl, D2,..., Dm) and connection pad patterns (32a, 32b, 32c, 32d) for row signal lines (26) of the matrix wiring unit (28) are provided concentrically at a peripheral edge of the first substrate (l2) to be alinged along a junction edge line defined between the substrates (l2, l4). Connection pad patterns (38) for the IC chips (34, 36) are linearly aligned at a peripheral edge of the second substrate (l4) and along the substrate junction edge line to oppose the pad patterns (20a, 32a, 32b, 32c, 32d) of the first substrate (l2). A connector unit for electrically connecting the pad patterns of the first and second substrates (l2, l4) may be provided at only one position of the junction edge portion of the first and second substrates (l2, l4).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image sensor unit preventing occurrence of leakage light and preventing a scratch, a wear and the like, which occur in a light guide, and to provide an image reader.SOLUTION: A convex locking claw 17 is installed at an end of a first light incident surface 100 side in the light guide 11, and a concave locking section 18 locked to the locking claw 17 of the light guide 11 is disposed in a frame 15. A light shielding member 16 is slidably and loosely inserted into a position covering an end of a second light incident surface 101 side in a longitudinal direction of the light guide 11. Even if contraction due to fluctuation such as an atmospheric temperature and/or an atmospheric humidity occurs in the longitudinal direction of the light guide 11, a design dimension of a first gap A between the first light incident surface 100 and a first light source 9 and a second gap B between the second light incident surface 101 and a second light source 10 can be maintained. Thus, the occurrence of the leakage light can be prevented.
