This clause explains how to acquire the raw
information of the light and convert into electrical
signal information.
・When scanning a surface of the object, the illumination on
this product irradiates the object.
・The object reflects the light. Generally the illuminated
black object reflects weaker reflective light. On the other
hand, the illuminated white object reflects stronger one.
・Refer to the drawing on left side (Fig.1). The black and
white chart has a correlation with the reflected light
intensity.
・The strong and weak reflective light arrives at the surface
of Sensor ICs (photo-diodes) through lens.
•As described in the drawing on the left side (Fig.3),
Sensor ICs correspondingly converts the strong and weak
light into the large and small electrical signal based on the
converting property of Sensor ICs as described on the
drawing on left side (Fig.2).

This product captures 2-d image by scanning one
line repeatedly and continuously.
・Acquiring a data of one line in scan direction.
・Relative transport in transport direction between the
object and this product can accumulate 2 dimensional data.
Refer to left side of the drawing.
【Example of scanning “2”】
・Step 1: Sensor IC reads one line in red point-line area.
The size of the line in transport direction is based on the
size of pixel.
・Step 2: The scanning line is transported in transport
direction.
・Step 3: Repeating Step 1 and 2 generates 2D image data.
(The height of the 2D-data means the strength of CIS
output.)
