摘要:
An image reading apparatus for reading an image by radiating the light onto an original includes a photosensor array the photosensors of which are arranged along the width of the original and receive the light scattered from the original surface and convert that light into electric signals. A period of time from the time when the photosensors receive the light until outputs containing the read information are derived cannot be ignored as compared with a reading scan time when the signals are read from the photosensor. A light source is arranged along the width of the original and is divided into a plurality of. A light-on controller for lighting the blocks of the light source to illuminate pixels for the reading of an image on the original, in advance of the reading of the pixels, for a time interval over neater than the foregoing period of time. In this apparatus, only a single LED array is used, so that the arrangement of the apparatus is simplified and the cost of the apparatus and its operating cost are also reduced.

An image display device includes a rear plate provided with an electron emitting element, a face plate provided with a transparent substrate, a transparent anode electrode formed on the transparent substrate, and a fluorescent layer provided on the anode electrode and including fluorescent particles. An average particle size of the fluorescent particles is equal to or less than 500 nm. The face plate has a light extraction means for extracting light emitted when the fluorescent layer is irradiated by electrons emitted from the electron emitting element to the substrate side.

There is disclosed a light guide for guiding light from a light source in a longitudinal direction and radiating the light to illuminate an object to be illuminated, which includes a diffuser for diffusing the light from the light source along the longitudinal direction of the light guide, and a radiator for radiating the light diffused by the diffuser in a predetermined direction. By arranging the diffuser and the radiator so that a normal line passing through the center of the width of the diffuser is different from the predetermined direction at least in the vicinity of the light source when viewed in the longitudinal direction of the light guide, the illuminance distribution of the longitudinal direction of the light guide is uniformed.

In an image sensor which has a photoelectric conversion element group, an illumination device having light sources of at least three emission colors R, G, and B, an imaging lens, and the like, moire noise in a color output image is eliminated, the original reading time is shortened, and a cost reduction is attained. For this purpose, a sensor array including a linear array of a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements, a lens array for imaging an original image on the sensor array, an illumination device using LEDs having emission colors R, G, and B, and a cover glass are supported by and fixed to a frame. The conjugate length of the lens array is set to fall within the range between the R and G emission wavelengths. An original pressed against the cover glass is illuminated by the illumination device, and light reflected by the original is converted into electrical signals by the sensor array, thereby reading the original image.

A light source or LED element is positioned adjacent to an entrance surface of a light guide element of stick shape made of a light transmissive substrate. The light that has entered from the entrance surface to the interior of the light guide element is scattered by a diffusion area to emerge from an exit surface in a predetermined direction, wherein the light that has entered from the entrance surface into the light guide element is not made incident directly on at least a part of the diffusion area.

A photoelectric converter includes a transparent substrate having a photoelectric converting element provided on a surface opposing a document relating to reading of image information, a transparent support for supporting the substrate, and a light source provided on a surface of the support opposite to a supporting surface for the substrate. Light emitted from the light source is radiated on a document through the support and the substrate, and reflected light is received by the photoelectric converting element.
摘要:
A photosensor with improved correction of image signals has a first photosensor portion including a plurality of photoelectric converting devices for reading an object and providing image signals thereof. A second photosensor portion includes a plurality of photoelectric converting devices and provides reference signals from light reflected from a reference number, or light received directly from a light source. Correction circuitry corrects the image signals from the first photosensor portion in accordance with the reference signals output from the second photosensor portion. Preferably, the photoelectric converting devices of the first and second photosensor portions are arranged in adjacent, parallel lines on the same substrate. Preferably, reference signals from the converting devices of the second photosensor are used by the correction circuitry to correct the electrical signals from substantially adjacent converting devices of the first photosensor portion. A single converting device of the second photosensor portion may be used to correct either one or more of the converting devices of the first photosensor portion.

Apparatus for improving illumination in a photoelectric conversion device having a light source for illuminating an original, and at least one photoelectric conversion element for receiving light reflected from the original includes a light guide for guiding light from the light source to the original, the light guide having at least one side surface. A correction section is provided and is disposed adjacent the side surface of the light guide. The correction section acts to suppress total reflection of at least a portion of the light emitted from the light source. Preferably, the correction section comprises regularly spaced light absorbing or light diffusing elements formed on the side of the light guide. The improvement apparatus may be employed in an information processing apparatus such as a facsimile machine.

An LED array has a plurality of LED blocks each of which can independently be illuminated or extinguished. The LED array includes an illumination control unit for illuminating, after the lapse of a time period T1 after a block is illuminated, a succeeding block; an extinguishment control unit for extinguishing, after the lapse of a time period T2 after a block is illuminated, another block which has been illuminated since before the former block was illuminated; and a time control unit for determining the time period T2. The time control unit is adapted to automatically control the time period T2 in accordance with the outputs from a line sensor which reads out an original image illuminated by the LED array.
