Scanning apparatus

A scanning apparatus capable of switching a scanning background, comprising:

• a pair of glass plates disposed in a frame and overlapped with each other, two aspectant surfaces of the two glass plates defining two scanning areas face to face, a portion of the frame adjacent to an outer surface of the glass plate defining a first color area of the scanning background corresponding to the scanning area;
• a pair of background boards pivoted to the glass plates, one background board being positioned above one glass plate, and the other background board being positioned under the other glass plate and away from the one background board, each background board defining a second color area of the scanning background corresponding to the scanning area;
• and
• a driving mechanism mounted in the frame, the driving mechanism driving the background boards to turn over with respect to the corresponding glass plates so as to switch the scanning background between the first color area and the second color area.
