摘要:
A compatible thermal head includes multiple heat generating elements arranged in a row on a substrate, and multiple drive devices, selectively coupled to the heat generating elements, for driving a corresponding at least one of the heat generating elements. The quantity of drive devices is less than the quantity of heat generating elements. Also included in the thermal head are a strobe signal input device for receiving multiple external strobe signals as input, and a number-of-strobe-signals converting device, integral to the thermal head and coupled to the strobe signal input device, for converting the multiple external strobe signals received by the strobe signal input device into multiple internal strobe signals. The quantity of the internal strobe signals is greater than the quantity of the external strobe signals. The number-of-strobe-signals converting device supplies the internal strobe signals to corresponding ones of the drive devices to cause the drive devices to drive the corresponding at least one heat generating element in accordance with the internal strobe signal.

A thermal head has a reduced power capacity and an electronic apparatus incorporates that thermal head. Printing data is stored in a shift register while ON-data for one line is latched relative to each block in a heating element array. A microcomputer checks the magnitude of the number of ON-data in each block. If the number of ON-data is equal to or less than a given value, the microcomputer outputs a strobe signal to that block so that the heating elements therein will be batch-driven. If the number of ON-data exceeds the given level, the microcomputer outputs two or more strobe signals to that block which in turn is further divided into two blocks. The two or more divided blocks are sequentially driven. In order to change the batch-printing range depending on the printing rate, the power capacity can be reduced to the minimum level within the necessary limit.

A linear light source apparatus (100) includes a light guide member (120) made of a transparent resin, and a light emitting element (200) for emitting light to the light guide member (120). The light guide member (120) includes a columnar main body (130), and a first end (121) and a second end (122) at two ends of the main body (130). The main body (130) includes a circumferential surface that is a smooth mirror surface and formed with a plurality of recesses (131) or projections (132) in a predetermined strip-shaped region extending in the longitudinal direction. The light emitted from the light emitting element (200) is emitted from a region of the main body (130), which faces the strip-shaped region, along the length of the main body (130). The recesses (131) or projections (132) extend straight in the width direction of the strip-shaped region.

A wide-angle lens includes an object-side lens group 200, an image-forming side lens group 400, and at least one converging lens 300 arranged between the object-side lens group 200 and the image-forming side lens group 400. The object-side lens group 200 includes at least one concave lens 210 including a convex light incident surface 211 on the object side. The light incident surface 211 of the concave lens 210 is a convex aspheric surface 211a whose curvature increases from a portion adjacent to the central optical axis toward the periphery of the lens. The concave lens further includes a light emitting surface 212 which is a substantially concave spherical surface.

An image sensor module includes a lens member, a resin frame that holds the lens member, a diaphragm formed on the lens member, an image sensor chip that receives light converged by the lens member, and a supporting board upon which the image sensor chip is mounted. The board is fixed to the bottom side of the resin frame. The diaphragm includes an opening for allowing the passage of light, and a light-shielding portion which is entirely held in contact with the lens member. The lens member is glued to the frame so that any additional fixing element such as a lens cap is unnecessary.

An image sensor module includes a holder and a lens unit attached in the holder. The lens unit is held in the holder by at least one engagement projection formed by plastically deforming a part of the holder. Preferably, the lens unit includes a first lens spaced from the engagement projection and a second lens adjoining the engagement projection. Each of the first lens and the second lens includes a central lens portion, and a flat peripheral portion surrounding the lens portion. The flat peripheral portion of the first lens is held in contact with the flat peripheral portion of the second lens. The engagement projection engages the flat peripheral portion of the second lens.

The image processing apparatus (B) includes an integrated image-reading/writing head (A), platen rollers (P1, P2) for a document and a recording paper, and data processor (7) performing data processing necessary for copying an image on the document. The integrated image-reading/writing head (A), a plurality of light receiving elements (20) and a plurality of printing elements (8) are mounted on the same surface of a substrate (4). If the document (D) and the recording paper (K) are fed in the same direction, when the image on the document is copied, the pixel data outputted for the printing are arranged in the order of first to n-th. If the document (D) and the recording paper (K) are fed in opposite directions to each other, the pixel data outputted for the printing are arranged in the order of n-th to first.

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).

An image reader (A) includes a plurality of light sources (6) arranged in line, the light from which travels through a channel (14) and irradiates a linear read area (S). The channel (14) is divided into a plurality of sections (14a) by a plurality of partitions (15). Thus, uniform brightness is obtained in the whole part of the linear read area (S), including both ends and the central part.
