METHOD FOR ALIGNING LIGHT-RECEIVING ELEMENT ARRAY SUBSTRATE PROVIDED IN CONTACT IMAGE SENSOR, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING CONTACT IMAGE SENSOR AND CONTACT IMAGE SENSOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a contact image sensor having a structure for facilitating the alignment of a light-receiving element array substrate in order to prevent the occurrence of ghost images. SOLUTION: The contact image sensor comprises: a light source 20 having a light-emitting element array; a slit 22; a lens 24; a light-receiving element array substrate 26 on which a light-receiving element array 25 is mounted; and a housing 28 for containing them. Four leads 30 for power supply are provided on one end of the light source 20. Four U-shaped depressions 32 are formed on one end of the light-receiving element array substrate 26 so that the leads 30 pass through them. Each of the depressions 32 has a large enough width for the thickness of each of the leads 30. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
