    摘要: An image reading device includes a plurality of light-receiving pixels configured to receive reflected light; a first light-shielding member including a plurality of first openings and disposed between the plurality of light-receiving pixels and a reference surface; a second light-shielding member including a plurality of second openings and disposed between the plurality of first openings and the reference surface; and a plurality of condenser lenses disposed at a distance from the plurality of second openings. The plurality of condenser lenses, the second light-shielding member, the first light-shielding member, and the plurality of light-receiving pixels are disposed at positions at which reflected light sequentially passes through one of the condenser lenses corresponding to each light-receiving pixel, one of the second openings corresponding to the each light-receiving pixel, and one of the first openings corresponding to the each light-receiving pixel and enters the each light-receiving pixel.

    摘要: An optical line sensor 1 includes an illumination unit 2, a light receiving unit 3, and a pair of holding members 4 separably attached to the light receiving unit 3 at both ends in a main scanning direction. The illumination unit 2 includes fitting portions (protrusions 25) at both ends in the main scanning direction. Each of the holding members 4 includes a fitted portion (hole 41). In a state where the fitting portion and the fitted portion are fitted, the illumination unit 2 is positioned so that the irradiation optical axis of light emitted from the illumination unit 2 overlaps the light receiving optical axis at a position substantially coinciding with a reading line of the light receiving unit 3 and is integrally held with the light receiving unit 3.

    摘要: In a line sensor including color filters that are periodically disposed in a light-receiving-element row, a problem called a “mixture of colors” occurs. A “mixture of colors” occurs when light that has been transmitted through a color filter differing from a color filter corresponding to a light receiving element is incident upon the light receiving element.In a CMOS sensor 107 including a light-receiving-element row in which a plurality of photodiodes 1204 are disposed side by side in a main scanning direction and a plurality of color filters 1202 that are disposed in correspondence with the plurality of photodiodes 1204, the center of each color filter 1202 is displaced in a direction of the center of the light-receiving-element row from the center of the photodiode 1204 corresponding to the color filter.

    摘要: A photoelectric conversion apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises a substrate including two light receiving regions in which light receiving devices are arranged; electrode pads arranged on the substrate; and a readout circuit arranged on the substrate and configured to read out signals from the light receiving regions. The electrode pads include an output pad for outputting a signal, and a power supply pad for supplying power to the light receiving regions or the readout circuit. Each of the light receiving regions has a shape in which a first direction is taken as a longitudinal direction, the light receiving regions are arranged along a second direction with an interval therebetween, the second direction intersecting the first direction, and one or more pads of the electrode pads is sandwiched by the light receiving regions in the second direction.
