Abstract:
A backlight module with two translucent faces applicable to operations of scanner is used for scanning of transparent documents. The backlight module has a shell and a light source unit disposed in the shell. The shell has a first translucent portion and a second translucent portion corresponding to each other. The light source unit in the shell can emit light via the first translucent portion and the second translucent portion. When the backlight module is used for scanning of a transparent document and the transparent document is placed outside the first translucent portion, the user can preview the content of the transparent document before scanning via the second translucent portion.
Abstract:
A CIS scanning apparatus capable of scanning both a transparent object (206) and a reflective object (208) is provided, including a printed circuit board; a color light source electrically connected with the PCB and providing color light for illuminating the reflective object from the bottom; a white transparency adapter (207) providing white light for illuminating the transparent object from the top; a long black and white image sensor (203) connected with the PCB and for receiving the light reflected by the reflective object; a short color image sensor (202) connected with the PCB and for receiving the light transmitted by the transparent object; and at least a lens array (204, 205) for focusing the reflected light and transmitted light onto at least one of the black and white image sensor and the color image sensor.
Abstract:
A device includes: a first lighting unit that illuminates an object at a first incident angle; a second lighting unit that illuminates an object at a second incident angle, the second incident angle being larger than the first incident angle; an image-input unit that receives light and generates image signals in accordance with the received light; and a guiding unit that guides light diffusely reflected from the object illuminated by either the first lighting unit or the second lighting unit to the image-input unit.
Abstract:
The presentation device 100 comprises a shuttle operation member 170 rotatable in the forward and reverse directions. The shuttle operation member 170 comprises a momentary mechanism, returning automatically to the neutral position when the user releases the hand. When a sub-microprocessor 360 inputs from the shuttle operation member 170 signals representing operating direction and operating angle, on the basis of these signals, it determines a zoom direction and zoom speed, and by giving an instruction to a lens control microprocessor 127 or a picture signal processor IC 300, performs optical zoom or digital zoom. By means of this correction, operability in zoom operations in the presentation device is improved.
Abstract:
A scanning optical system is configured to include a light source, an anamorphic optical element, a polygonal mirror, and an imaging optical system. The imaging optical system has a scanning lens including a first lens provided on a polygonal mirror side and a second lens provided on a surface side, and a compensation lens provided on the surface side with respect to the scanning lens, the compensation lens compensating for curvature of field. The scanning lens includes at least one convex surface that has a toric surface having a stronger power in the auxiliary scanning direction than in the main scanning direction. One surface of the compensation lens has an anamorphic aspherical surface, which is a surface whose radius of curvature in the auxiliary scanning direction at a point spaced from the optical axis thereof is determined independently from a cross-sectional shape thereof along the main scanning direction.
Abstract:
A flatbed scanner includes a housing, a transparent platen atop the housing for receiving an object to be scanned, and a carriage operable to travel along a horizontal direction and a vertical direction. The carriage includes a light source for illuminating the object and a rectangular photodetector array for simultaneously detecting light intensity of multiple scan lines.
Abstract:
An image read/write head (A) includes a support (7) for supporting at least one of paired platen rollers (P1, P2) and a detector (2) for detecting at least one of a document (D) and a recording paper (K). Therefore, an image processing apparatus incorporating the image read/write head (A) can be easily manufactured. The image read/write head (A) further includes a reflection preventing member (6) for collectively surrounding the plurality of light receiving elements (3) and the plurality of drive IC chips (80). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the plurality of light receiving elements from receiving scattering light or disturbing external light.

Abstract:
A light beam L from a laser source 62 impinges upon a deflection mirror surface 651 from the direction of a pivot axis (sub scanning direction Y) at an acute angle γ with respect to the surface normal NL to the deflection mirror surface 651, and the light beam scans in a main scanning direction X. Since the light beam is incident upon the deflection mirror surface 651 along the direction of the pivot axis, the length of a movable plate 653 in the main scanning direction X may be relatively short. Further, a first optical system 63 shapes the light beam incident upon the deflection mirror surface 651 into an elongated cross sectional shape which is long in the main scanning direction X, and the movable member 653 is finished as an elongated strip which elongates in the main scanning direction X. Hence, the movable plate 653 is light-weight and can pivot stably at a faster speed than in a conventional apparatus.
Abstract:
In an image reading apparatus which can read a transparent original and reflection original, a white background is formed like a sheet. The image reading apparatus is arranged to be movable by a pair of rollers which rotate using, e.g., the driving source of an original feeder. To read a transparent original, the white sheet is moved by the pair of rollers to a position where a transparent original reading illumination unit is exposed. This makes it possible to eliminate trouble in detaching the white background mounted on the back of an original platen in accordance with the type of an original to be read.
Abstract:
A carrying apparatus for holding an optical scanning module is provided to allow the optical scanning module against the platen. The carrying apparatus at least comprises the first carriage, the second carriage and a carriage control means. The second carriage is pivotably connected to the first carriage. The carriage control means provides an upward force to lift one or both of the first carriage and the second carriage up, thereby allowing the optical scanning module loaded on the carriages against the platen.
