Abstract:
A simplified image sensor module includes a substrate, a photosensitive chip, a plurality of wires, and transparent glue. The substrate has an upper surface formed with a plurality of first connection points, and a lower surface formed with a plurality of second connection points. The photosensitive chip has a plurality of bonding pads and is mounted to the upper surface of the substrate. The wires electrically connect the bonding pads of the photosensitive chip to the first connection points of the substrate, respectively. The transparent glue is arranged on the upper surface of the substrate to encapsulate the photosensitive chip and is formed with a convex portion corresponding to the photosensitive chip. The photosensitive chip may receive focused optical signals focused by the convex portion of the transparent glue.

Abstract:
An optical scanner is disclosed that includes light transmitting and receiving optical fibers to illuminate and scan an image to be copied, transmitted or stored.
Abstract:
The peripheral surface of a portion of an optical fiber is roughed and thereon a photoelectrically converting element is provided, so that light transmitted in the optical fiber is converted into electric signals by the photoelectrically converting element. Such a photoelectrically converting optical fiber is made by taking a model or a replica of an optical fiber, forming a photoelectrically converting element on the replica, roughing the peripheral surface of the portion of the optical fiber from which the replica is taken, and interlocking again the replica to the optical fiber so as to transfer the photoelectrically converting element onto the roughed surface portion. Furthermore, electrically conductive coating is provided on the other portion of the optical fiber except for the roughed surface portion so as to provide a terminal, and also lead wire, for the photoelectrically converting element.
Abstract:
A reading apparatus that reads a sheet includes: a first light emitting diode (LED) configured to emit light with a specific wavelength; a light emitting element including a second LED configured to emit light with the specific wavelength and a phosphor configured to be excited by the light emitted from the second LED; a line sensor configured to generate a reference signal according to a quantity of received light emitted from the first LED and reflected off the sheet, and also generate an image signal according to a quantity of received light emitted from the light emitting element and reflected off the sheet; and a controller configured to generate an image representing the sheet from a differential result obtained by removing a component corresponding to the reference signal from the image signal.
Abstract:
An image reading apparatus includes a main unit, an openable unit, a cable connected to the openable unit and routed in the main unit, and a holding member attached to the main unit. The holding member includes a first guide portion configured to hold a first specified portion of the cable. The holding member, with the first guide portion holding the first specified portion of the cable, is configured to move from a first position to a second position. When the holding member is in the first position, the cable has no slack in a second specified portion of the cable, the second specified portion being closer to an end of the cable disposed in the openable unit than the first specified portion. When the holding member is in the second position, the cable has slack in a second specified portion of the cable routed in the main unit.
Abstract:
A light collecting member includes a lens to make incident light be collected on a light receiving member, a lens barrel to house the lens, an end portion into which a light enters of the lens barrel being arranged near the light receiving member and a fence member to cover the end portion into which a light enters of the lens barrel and the light receiving member, the fence member having an exhaust port formed in a manner extending in a vertical direction.
Abstract:
Two aperture members are disposed on each side of a lens array. In one aperture member, decreasingly tapered through holes having a cross sectional area that gradually decreases in a light incident direction and increasingly tapered through holes having a cross sectional area that gradually increases in the light incident direction are alternatively arranged. The other aperture member that is oppositely disposed with respect to the lens array has the same configuration. The center axes of the decreasingly tapered through holes and the center axes of the increasingly tapered through holes are coincident with each other. This enables to achieve an image forming optical element that has a large amount of light and less irregularity of the amount of light.
