Abstract
An image reading device that reads an image including a fluorescent color, including: a first light source having a maximum light emission intensity at a first wavelength; a second light source having a maximum light emission intensity at a second wavelength that is longer than the first wavelength; and an image reading chip configured to read the image. The image reading chip includes a pixel including a photodetector that performs photoelectric conversion on light received from the image, and the spectral sensitivity of the photodetector when photoelectric conversion is performed takes a maximum value at light having a wavelength in a region from 400 nm to 500 nm inclusive.
Claims11
An image reading device for reading an image including a fluorescent color, the image reading device comprising:
- a first light source having a maximum light emission intensity at a first wavelength that is 400 nm or greater and 500 nm or less;
- a second light source having a maximum light emission intensity at a second wavelength that is longer than the first wavelength;
- and
- an image reading chip configured to read the image, the image reading chip having a pixel including a photodetector that performs photoelectric conversion on light received from the image, wherein:
- the spectral sensitivity of the photodetector when photoelectric conversion is performed takes a maximum value at a wavelength on a short wavelength side relative to the first wavelength, the short wavelength side being within a region from 400 nm to 500 nm inclusive.
A semiconductor device comprising:
- a pixel including a photodetector that performs photoelectric conversion on light received from an image, wherein
- the spectral sensitivity of the photodetector when photoelectric conversion is performed in a region from 400 nm or more to 700 nm or less takes a maximum value at a wavelength on a short wavelength side relative to the first wavelength, the short wavelength side being within a region from 400 nm to 500 nm inclusive.
