<p>A filter change-over mechanism for use in a color image reading apparatus (1), in which filters (14B, 14G, 14R) in a plurality of colors are arranged to be changed over through utilization of a scanning function of an image reading unit (4), thus making it unnecessary to provide a driving source exclusive for the filter change-over or a complicated change-over mechanism, and accordingly, the image reading apparatus (1) may be constructed to be compact in size and light in weight, and also presented at low cost owing to reduction of parts required.</p> |
