Used in imaging systems such as scanners or multifunction machines. [Prior Art] It is used in an imaging system to apply a light broom and convert it into an electronic signal, such as a scanner, printer, or fax machine. Machines, or integrated photocopying, scanning, printing, and faxing (MPF 'multi-function printers) are the most common; most of these imaging systems have optical scanning modules (〇ptical scanning modules). The mode of action is mainly: a light source is arranged in the scanning module, and the light source can emit light to the picture or text to be scanned or printed, and then the image sensor or image sensor is used. The optical signal corresponding to the pattern is obtained by the reflection of the light ray. The image sensing component used in the optical sniffer module has two main types: one is photoelectric, and the hood is like a sensing component CCD (Charge Coupled Device) ); another: contact image sensing component Cis (Contact Image Sensor); = scanning strictly see 'CCD image sensing components due to long development time, mature technology' can get smaller signal to noise S/N ratio is 200906165 (signa to-noise ratio), so the scanning quality of CCD image sensing components is better than CIS image sensing components; and CIS image sensing components are low cost, light and ultra-thin, suitable for In a more crowded environment, and no need to adjust and heat, so start faster than CCD image sensing components. Referring to FIG. 1 , it is a schematic diagram of a CCD optical scanning module (CCDM) in the prior art, which is a CCD optical scanning module (CCDM, CCD module) formed by a photoelectric coupling component cCD (Charge Coupled Device). The light source 11 is generally used to emit white light by using a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL, F1 uorescent), and is irradiated to be scanned through a narrow aperture (not shown). On the object 1 , the reflected light can be focused and imaged on the CCD image sensing element 16 via the reflective lens 12 and the focusing lens 13 . The CCD image sensing element 16 is a type of semiconductor 1C element, which is fabricated by a semiconductor process, and its resolution is less affected by the process, so that high, medium, and low resolution sensing elements can be formed as needed. Since the length of the CCD image sensing element 16 is much shorter than the width of the object 10 to be scanned (such as a document or a picture), the image must be reduced by using the reflecting lens 12 and the focusing lens 13 during scanning to be completely scanned. After the reflected light is reflected by the A4 size object to be scanned, the focal length (F〇cus Length) of the reflective lens 12 J and the focusing lens 13 to the CCD image sensing element 16 is about 1 meter, although the depth of field d〇F (depth of focus) can scan a little wrinkled paper, but relatively makes the CCDM 1 larger; and because the CCD image sensing element 16 is smaller than the object to be bounced 1, the object to be scanned needs to be scanned. 10 relative position focusing on the CCD image sensing element 16' increases the necessity of adjustment in assembly; but the CCD image sensing element 16 can accept a low noise ratio s/N, so the color is rich, such as JP2006-067504 , US2004/263915, etc. are disclosed. The CCD image sensing component 16 has an array of cCD (array CCD) and a linear CCD (linear CCD). The main problem of the optical scanning module CCDM using the CCD image sensing component 16 200906165 is that the CCD image is sensed. The measuring component 16 requires additional electronic components to convert the analog signal converted by the CCD image sensing component 16 into a digital signal for transmission to the outside world. This is called the back end function of image capturing; the rear end of the image capturing The components required for the function are shown in Figure 3.

The a/D analog-to-digital converter/transmitter 15 includes: a sequencer 14, an emitter (Emitter) 153, an A/D conversion unit 151, and an LVDS transmission unit 152; CCD image sensing The electronic signal generated by the element 16 is controlled by the timing device μ to emit an analog signal via the transmitter 153, and the A/D conversion unit 151 converts the analog signal into a digital signal, and the LVDS transmission unit 152 sets the digital signal to The signal of the LVDS digital format is transmitted to the outside through the connector 161. Since the CCD image sensing component 16 cannot be integrated with the components of the image processing back end, the complexity and reliability are reduced, and the cost is relatively increased. It is hindered in development.

After the object 2 is reflected, it is first imaged through the rod lens 22 and then imaged on the CIS image sensing element 23, and the CIS image sensing element 23 can convert the scanned light into electricity via the applied sequencer 24 and A/. The D-class digital-to-digital conversion/transfer piano digital format is transmitted to the outside world, and an electronic digital signal corresponding to the image to be scanned and 200906165 is obtained, and the text is colored or black and white. As shown in FIG. 4, an array CSIM (Array CSIM) is taken as an example. If the analog-to-digital conversion/transporter 25 is to be transmitted to the boundary in a low-voltage differential (LVDS) digital format, the image captures the components at the back end. Including: a sequencer 24, a horizontal decoding unit 232, a vertical decoding unit 233, an A/D conversion unit 251, and an LVDSJ dedicated unit 253; the timing signal generated by the sequencer 24 drives the horizontal decoding unit 232 to level the CIS image sensing element 23. The electronic signal is converted to a signal of the ^3 digital format via the A/D conversion unit 251 and the transmission unit 253 to the outside; at the next timing, the timing signal generated by the sequencer 24 drives the vertical decoding unit 233 to be vertical. The electronic signal is converted to a signal of the LVDS digit format via the A/D conversion unit 251 and the LVDS transmission unit 253, and is transmitted to the outside; as disclosed in US2005/0145701, US 7,166,827, US 2003/0076552, US 2007/0035785, US 6, 827, 269, etc. . In optical considerations, since the lenticular lens 22 is composed of a row of small-diameter gradient index lenticular lenses (radius gradient in (|ex lens)', the refractive index of each lens gradually increases in the radial direction. The lenticular lens 22 has a function of imaging. The entire lenticular lens 22 can image the picture or text of the object to be scanned 20 in a 1:1 ratio to the CIS image sensing element 23', that is, the CIS image sense. The length of the measuring element 23 must be the same length as the object to be scanned 20; in addition, the advantage of the imaging of the lenticular lens 22 is that the optical path is short, but the disadvantage is that the depth of field is small, so when scanning, the object to be scanned (such as a picture or a text object) ) must be attached to the specific plane of the scanner, and also requires that the object to be scanned must be relatively flat, that is, when there is unevenness on the object to be scanned (such as when the surface of the picture or text object has unevenness), then the concave The imaging will form a black part, which is relatively more difficult to develop into a scanning three-dimensional object; therefore, such as CN200620175613 develops a lens used by CCDM or CSIM, such as US6, 111, 244 to develop a long depth of field image scanning device, using lenses and mirrors In combination, the scanning light can be imaged on the CIS image sensing element 23'200906165 to have a good depth of field. On the other hand, the 'CIS image sensing element 23 can be complementary CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide- Semiconductor) logic Process manufacturing' has an array CMOS image sensor (or CMOS image sensor or CMOS image sensor) and a linear CMOS image sensor. The array CMOS image sensing component is generally applied to a mobile phone camera module, which is different from the image optical scanning module of the present invention; and such as US2007/0024926, US2007/0045510 and 〇TW00490977 'exposing the use of array CMOS image sensing components for images A device for image sensing components is disclosed in US Patent Application Publication No. 7,113,215, US 2005/0145701, and US 2003/0146994, but analog digital converters and transmitters are still added to electronic signal transmission; US 2002/0096623 discloses linear CMOS Image sensing component device; US2002/0096625 discloses a method for transmitting data by a linear CMOS image sensing component The linear CMOS image sensing element can realize the sensing of the image. Since the linear CMOS image sensing element is linear, there is only one column of photosensitive elements, so that its operation speed is faster than the array CMOS image sensing C; In addition, the low energy consumption of the linear CMOS image sensing component can effectively reduce the power burden of the portable electronic product; therefore, the development can solve the problem of reducing power consumption, high speed, and convenient transmission of electronic signals to the outside world. The scanning module' is an urgent need. Furthermore, for the use of MFPs, the scanned electronic signals can be easily and quickly transferred to other uses, and the linear CM〇s image sensing components can be used with the image capture backend functions, such as ADC ( Class conversion), DSP (digital signal processor), decoding (Enc〇der), interface (Interface) integrated into a single chip (s〇c, systein 〇n chip), help to solve the transmission interface integration and transmission convenience Therefore, it is necessary to develop a transmission method that can be easily and highly reliable and can be combined with a linear CMOS image sensing element, and is also a problem that needs to be broken. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The conventional technology has the problems of low reliability and high cost in the scanning information transmission in the linear CCDM. In CISM, even the CMOS image sensing element has the disadvantages and limitations of small depth of field and low S/N ratio.

Then by the linear (10) S image sensing element 34 when the LED is selected as the light source 31 The light source 31 can be a linear type immediately below. The linear linear LED linearly directly bonds one or several lED wafers at an equal interval to an elongated printed circuit board. The LED chip is directly powered by electric energy. The principle of conversion to light energy, applying voltage to the positive and negative terminals of the semiconductor, when the current is passed When the electrons are combined with the holes, the remaining energy is released in the form of light; when the light is emitted through the LED linear illuminator, it can be shot down (or a certain orientation) to the object to be scanned, after being scanned. The aiming object is reflected as a scanning light, and then focused by the reflecting lens group 32 and the focusing lens group 33 to be converted into an electronic signal by the linear CMOS image sensing element 34. The present invention uses a linear CMOS system composed of a linear CMOS image sensing element and an optical element. Compared with the conventional CCDM or CISM, at least the following advantages can be achieved: 200906165 <1>, the linear CM0SM of the present invention is compared with the conventional CISM, Linear CM0SM has the advantages of reduced cost, small size, high resolution, low distortion, high productivity, and reliability (scanning advantage.) <2>, linear CM of the present invention Compared with the conventional CISM, the linear CM0SM has the advantages of higher electronic signal transmission, and can flexibly use different light sources, that is, the choice of using the light source is not limited. <3>, the linear CM0SM of the present invention It is known to provide a CISM comparison of a cylindrical lens (r〇d I lens). Since the conventional CISMi scanning light is reflected by the scanning object, it passes through a cylindrical lens and then senses the CIS image. On the component (as shown in FIG. 2), the conventional CISM does not have the depth of field (df) efficiency due to the lenticular lens, which affects the efficiency of the conventional CISM, and the linear cm〇 of the present invention. Sm has depth of field (DOF) efficiency. =4> In the conventional CSIM, when using a linear LED as a light source, a light guide must be used to illuminate the light emitted by the LED chip through the light guide plate to form an illuminance. A uniform linear light source ensures that the diaphragm J can be evenly distributed to the object to be scanned, but the use of the light guide plate will result in a lower LED light source usage, that is, the light will be lowered after passing through the light guide plate. Speed; however, if you want to speed up the scanning speed, the brightness of the LED source must be strengthened (enhance the power of the LED light source), but it is relatively easy to heat, causing the use of the conventional CSIM; and the linear cM〇SM of the present invention can be used by The optical design of the middle reflecting lens group and the focusing lens group is to fully utilize the light and image on the linear CMOS image sensing element, so that the light guide plate in the CISM can be omitted, the light source utilization rate is further improved, and the scanning speed is improved.
