ABSTRACT:
An image reading apparatus includes an LED array which generates light of variable luminance in accordance with a supplied current for irradiating a document paper, an image sensor for receiving the light reflected by the document paper to generate image signals, a current controlling voltage supplier including a digital-to-analog converter for generating a current controlling voltage, and a current controller for controlling current supply to the light irradiator in response to the current controlling voltage from the current controlling voltage supplier. The current controller includes a first bipolar transistor having its base directly connected to the digital-to-analog converter, and a second bipolar transistor having its base connected to to the emitter of the first transistor.
