Abstract
An image sensor including: light guides for irradiating light onto an irradiated object; a lens that focuses reflected light that was reflected by the irradiated object; a sensor that receives the reflected light that was focused by the lens; and a housing. The housing houses or holds the light guides, the lens, and the sensor, and is formed by integrating a housing metal portion and a housing resin portion.
Claims22
An image sensor, comprising:
- a light guide that extends in a main scanning direction and that emits light onto an irradiated body;
- a lens that focuses reflected light that has been reflected by the irradiated body;
- a light receiver that receives the reflected light that was focused by the lens;
