摘要:
In an illuminating apparatus including a plurality of rows of light source groups each having a plurality of light-emitting elements for irradiating light to an original that are arranged in a main scanning direction, the light-emitting elements in the plurality of rows of light source groups illuminate an irradiated face of the original at the same pitch within the same light source group and at different pitches from each other among the plurality of rows of light source groups.

The invention relates to a illuminating device for digitally scanning images comprising two or more independent light sources that are placed so as to achieve from each separate light source different light beams falling on the active scanning area, so that by modulating the light intensity of each light source through manual or automatic dimming, different configurations of the light falling on the object to be digitized and of its reflections in the sensor and, therefore, corresponding changes in digital images are achieved.

A image reading apparatus includes a plurality of point light sources, arranged in a straight line state, configured to output light for lighting a document situated on a contact glass from a lower side of the contact glass, a light leading member, positioned in front in a light outputting direction of the light output from the point light sources, configured to lead the light output from the point light sources so as to irradiate along a main scanning direction toward the document situated on the contact glass, and a photoelectric conversion element configured to receive reflection light from the document. The light leading member includes positioning means configured to make a gap between each of the point light sources arranged in a line state and the light leading member constant and make an arrangement direction of the point light sources be positioned along a longitudinal direction of the light leading member.

A reading light exposure system scans an image recording medium with a reading light beam. The reading light exposure system includes a line source emitting the reading light beam, an optical means which converges the reading light beam emitted from the line source in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the line source, and a pinhole array having a number of pinholes which limit the angle of divergence of the reading light beam in the longitudinal direction of the line source with respect to the optical axis of the optical means. The length of each of the pinholes in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the line source is larger than the length thereof in the longitudinal direction of the line source.

A linear illumination device of the present invention includes: a guide made of a light transmitting material extending in a first direction, having a side face and at least one end face; at least one light emitter for allowing light to enter interior of the guide from the at least one end face of the guide; and a light diffusing section formed on part of the side face of the guide, for diffusing the light incident thereon, wherein at least part of the light entering the interior of the guide goes out from part of the side face of the guide facing the light diffusing section, thereby providing substantially linear illumination light along the first direction.
摘要:
A line-focus system (310) with a curved fluorescent bulb (400, 500, 600) for directing light from the curved fluorescent bulb (400, 500, 600) toward the scan line (314) in the line-focus system (310). The curved fluorescent bulb (400, 500, 600) is shaped in such a manner that the light intensity across the photosensor line array (316) in the line-focus system (310) is relatively uniform and the length of the light bulb (400, 500, 600) is shorter than the prior art. The curved fluorescent bulb (400, 500, 600) may be C-shaped (400), U-shaped (500) or towel bar-shaped (600).

Concerning a lamp unit which is used as a light source of an image reading apparatus, there is provided a lamp unit which reduces a change over time in the quantity of light. The lamp unit is provided with a hollow cylindrical gas-filled tube in which a gas is filled; a pair of electrodes which are secured to an outer peripheral surface of the gas-filled tube and extend in the longitudinal direction of the gas-filled tube in a mutually opposing state; an electrically insulating cladding tube surrounding the electrodes and the gas-filled tube; and a heat-accumulating member provided in contact with an outer peripheral surface of the cladding tube and extending in the longitudinal direction of the cladding tube.
