ABSTRACT:
A linear light source device for image reading. The main body of the linear light source device includes at least a light-guide bar and a light source assembly. The light-guide bar is a polygonal column with one surface having stripes thereon, acting as a reflective plane with a reflective function. The opposite plane to the reflective plane is a light-exiting plane, and all the remaining planes are reflective layers. At least one of the ends of the polygonal column is an incident plane for a light beam to enter. Light is transmitted through both of the two ends of the polygonal column (or one end with the other end acting as a reflective plane) and uniformly transmits through the light-exiting plane. The light-guided bar has a simple structure and configuration, a compact volume, a high rate of utilization in light energy, is flexibly changed in length, and is easy to manufacture with high product yield and low manufacturing cost. In addition, it can provide uniform monochromatic and colored light, with high luminance, and at a low cost.
