发明名称 LIGHT GUIDE, ILLUMINATING DEVICE AND IMAGE READING APPARATUS
摘要 A light guide having; an entrance portion; a light-splitting portion; a first and a second light guide portion; and a first and a second reflective portion provided in or on the first and second light guide portions, respectively. The first and second light guide portions emit light reflected by the first reflective portion and light reflected by the second reflective portion to outside as a first linear light beam and a second linear light beam, respectively. The light-splitting portion projects toward the entrance portion, and has a first inclined surface, a second inclined surface and a connecting section. The entrance portion has a light-diffusing section opposed to the connecting section in a direction of optical axis, and the light-diffusing section diffuses the light emitted from the point light source toward the first light guide portion and the second light guide portion.

主权项 1. A light guide comprising: an entrance portion which light emitted from a point light source enters; a light-splitting portion configured to split the light passing through the entrance portion into first light and second light; a first light guide portion and a second light guide portion configured to guide the first light and the second light, respectively, in a specified direction while total-reflecting the first light and the second light, respectively; and a first reflective portion and a second reflective portion provided in or on the first light guide portion and in the second light guide portion, respectively, the first reflective portion and the second reflective portion configured to reflect the first light propagating in the first light guide portion and the second light propagating in the second light guide portion, respectively; wherein the first light guide portion and the second light guide portion are configured to emit the first and second light reflected by the first reflective portion and the second reflective portion and made no longer meet a condition for total-reflection to outside as a first linear light beam and a second linear light beam, respectively; wherein the light-splitting portion projects toward the entrance portion, and includes a first inclined surface, a second inclined surface and a connecting section, the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface extending toward a first point on an optical axis of the point light source and being substantially symmetrical with each other when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, the connecting section connecting the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface near the first point; and wherein the entrance portion includes a light-diffusing section opposed to the connecting section in a direction of the optical axis, the light-diffusing section configured to diffuse the light emitted from the point light source toward the first light guide portion and the second light guide portion.
