Facsimile equipment with direct-contact-type image sensor

摘要

In a contact-type image sensor for use in a facsimile equipment or the like, the surface of the sensor is provided with a transparent film which is electroconductive and of which the surface that is in contact with the sensor elements is formed as a roughened surface capable of scattering light. By virtue of the provision of this film, static electricity generated during the running of the original is prevented from causing fluctuations in the sensor output voltage. In addition, light reflected by the surface of the transparent film is prevented from becoming directly incident on the sensor elements and, hence, from causing abnormal increases in the sensor output.
