<p>A line-focus system (310) with a curved fluorescent bulb (400, 500, 600) for directing light from the curved fluorescent bulb (400, 500, 600) toward the scan line (314) in the line-focus system (310). The curved fluorescent bulb (400, 500, 600) is shaped in such a manner that the light intensity across the photosensor line array (316) in the line-focus system (310) is relatively uniform and the length of the light bulb (400, 500, 600) is shorter than the prior art. The curved fluorescent bulb (400, 500, 600) may be C-shaped (400), U-shaped (500) or towel bar-shaped (600). <IMAGE></p> |
