ABSTRACT:
An image reading apparatus, including point light sources, arranged in a straight line state, configured to output light to light a document, and a light leading member, positioned in front in a light outputting direction of the light output from the point light sources, configured to receive the light incident on a surface of the light leading member, and to lead the received light so as to irradiate along a main scanning direction toward the document. The light leading member includes a positioning unit configured to make a gap between one of the point light sources arranged in a line state and the light leading member the same as a gap between another of the point light sources and the light leading member, and to make an arrangement direction of the point light sources be positioned along a longitudinal direction of the light leading member.
