Abstract:
A line sensor apparatus comprises a rod lens array in which a plurality of rod lenses are arrayed in a first direction, a line sensor substrate including a line sensor which receives light from the rod lens array, a pair of inner supporting members configured to support the line sensor substrate, a transmitter substrate including a transmitter which transfers data based on the light detected by the line sensor, and an outer supporting member configured to support the pair of inner supporting members and the transmitter substrate, wherein the pair of inner supporting members are arranged on two side surfaces of the rod lens array in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
Abstract:
A first light source and a second light source are arranged so that a protrusion direction of a first terminal from a first supporting body and a protrusion direction of a second terminal from a second supporting body are different when viewed in the longitudinal direction of a light guide. The first light source and the second light source are arranged so as to reduce a protrusion direction of the first supporting body and the second supporting body in a predetermined direction from an area where the first light source and the second light source overlap when viewed in the longitudinal direction of the light guide.
