ABSTRACT:
A divergent light beam from a light source unit having a plurality of light-emitting regions is almost contained within the surface of a reflecting body that is an array of micro roof mirrors/roof prisms disposed in a regular manner. The light beam emitted from the light source unit with an angle of divergence is reflected by the reflecting body and is almost converged on a light-receiving surface. As a result, there is increased the ray density of a light beam on the light-receiving surface.
