Abstract

To provide an illumination device with a short redundant area and to provide an image reading device incorporated with the illumination device. In light directly introduced into a bar-shaped light guide 3 from an end face of the light guide similarly in the conventional manner among light emitted from a blue element 10a located farthest from the bottom 3b of the light guide 3 in a light emitting element of a light emitting unit 10, a redundant area becomes ling as shown in ,(a). However, light transmitting a gap 13 among the light emitted from the blue element 10a is reflected on a rear face of a shielding section 14 to be introduced into the light guide 3 from the surface of a notch 12 as shown in (b). Since reflected light form the shielding section 14 is almost perpendicular, the redundant area becomes very short.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to an illumination device for illuminating a document, and an image reading device (image sensor) equipped with the illumination device. Background technique

[0002] In facsimile machines, copiers, scanners, etc., an image reading device is installed, and the image reading device includes: an illuminating device incorporating a rod-shaped light guide that irradiates a linear light on an original; Lens array on a linear image sensor.

[0003] Such as patent document 1 and Figure 12 As shown, the general structure of the above-mentioned illuminating device is that a rod-shaped light guide 101 is embedded in a U-shaped housing 100 in cross section, and the light from the light-emitting unit 102 installed at the end of the housing is guided from the end surface of the rod-shaped light guide 101 to the In the rod-shaped light guide, it is totally reflected in the rod-shaped light guide and emitted from the above-mentioned ex...
