Abstract
A Contact type linearly arrayed imaging sensor not requiring an optical lens system has been successfully developed. This sensor array consists of 40 amorphous Saticon type photodiodes formed on an optical fiber plate, each of which measures 250 µm by 200 µm and the overall sensor length is 10 mm. This device has an advantage of easy fabrication which permits elongation of the total length without deteriorating the high resolution characteristics. Therefore, it may be useful as an imaging sensor for small size facsimile equipment. In this paper, a series of technical data on the proposed structure, the fabrication procedures and also the static and operational performances are described.
