Abstract

Provided is a flatbed scanner having a two-dimensional image sensor. The flatbed scanner includes a flatbed scanner housing for housing a plurality of flatbed scanner components including a two-dimensional image sensor. The two-dimensional image sensor includes a two-dimensional non-pixelated light source, a first substrate disposed over the two-dimensional non-pixelated light source, and a two-dimensional array of photodetectors disposed over the first substrate where each photodetector effectively surrounds a transparent, non-active region.
