Abstract:
PURPOSE: An image sensor unit and an image decoding device thereof are provided to clarify a contrast of a lit object and a background by efficiently shielding reflected light. CONSTITUTION: A first light guide body(14) emits light of a first light source to a lit object. A second light guide body(21) emits light of a second light source to the lit object. An imaging device(16) images the light reflected from the lit object. A light receiving unit(18) converts the collected light into an electric signal. The second light source and the second light guide body are placed while having a return path through which the lit object passes between the second light source and the second light guide body. A light shielding unit(1) for shielding a part of the light of the first light guide body is placed between the first and the second light guide bodies.

The transmission reading light source and the transmission reading light guide are disposed on the opposite side of a conveyance path through which the bill can pass, for the reflection reading light source and the reflection reading light guide, and a light blocking member that blocks a part of the light from the reflection reading light guide is disposed between the reflection reading light guide and the transmission reading light guide.
Abstract:
In an image reader, an optical scanning unit reads an original image on an original document sheet. In the optical scanning unit, a lighting device is detachably attached to a housing to emit light toward the original document sheet. The housing houses a reading device to read the light reflected by the original document sheet. A shield member is detachably attached to the housing to shield the reading device from the lighting device to form a space for the reading device inside the housing. A slit is provided in the shield member to guide the light reflected by the original document sheet to the space for the reading device. A second positioner is provided on the shield member to engage a first positioner provided in the housing to position the reading device with respect to the lighting device.

Abstract:
A contact image sensor comprises a housing, a light source provided on the upper part of the housing to irradiate light to a document, lenses arranged in the housing and provided at least on an entering side and an outgoing side to focus reflected light from a reading position of the document, an aperture angle regulation member having an inclined surface to reflect a part of light irradiated from the light source at the reading position of the document and an aperture portion into which the reflected light enters directly to regulate an aperture angle to permit the reflected light passing through the aperture portion to be irradiated to the lens on the entering side, and a light receiving element array to receive and photoelectrically convert the reflected light focused after passing through the lenses.
Abstract:
A lighting device includes a light source that illuminates an object of illumination, a reflecting member provided opposite the light source so as to direct a first part of illuminating light emitted therefrom to the object of illumination, and a light-blocking member provided between the light source and the object of illumination and between the reflecting member and the object of illumination. The light-blocking member blocks the first directed part of the illuminating light and a second part of the illuminating light directly illuminating the object of illumination with a certain ratio of a light-blocking rate for the first directed part of the illuminating light to a light-blocking rate for the second directly illuminating part of the illuminating light.
