A light emitting unit is provided. The light emitting unit comprises a substrate, a light emitting element placed on a first surface of the substrate, a front panel covering the first surface, and a back panel placed on a second surface of the substrate, which is opposite to the first surface. An opening for extracting light emitted by the light emitting element is formed in the front panel, and the opening is formed to overlap a part of a light emitting surface of the light emitting element. The back panel has a thermal conductivity higher than that of the front panel, and includes a projecting portion that projects toward the first surface. The projecting portion is in contact with at least one of the first surface, the light emitting element, or the front panel.

Light emitting unit, illumination apparatus, reading apparatus, and recording system

There is provided with a lighting apparatus. An elongated first light emission unit and an elongated second light emission unit each extend in a longer side direction and a shorter side direction. The first light emission unit and the second light emission unit have respective end portions in the longer side direction that are connected to each other via a restricting mechanism having a shape that restricts relative movement of the first and second light emission units in the shorter side direction.

Lighting apparatus, line sensor assembly, reading apparatus, and printing apparatus

A line sensor apparatus comprises a rod lens array in which a plurality of rod lenses are arrayed in a first direction, a line sensor substrate including a line sensor which receives light from the rod lens array, a pair of inner supporting members configured to support the line sensor substrate, a transmitter substrate including a transmitter which transfers data based on the light detected by the line sensor, and an outer supporting member configured to support the pair of inner supporting members and the transmitter substrate, wherein the pair of inner supporting members are arranged on two side surfaces of the rod lens array in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

Line sensor apparatus, reading apparatus, and recording system

A plurality of edges of sensor substrates are connected in a longitudinal direction in a sensor substrate unit. Farthest tips of sensor chips at the edges of the sensor substrates are positioned inside of farthest edges of the edges in the longitudinal direction. The edges of the connected sensor substrates overlap each other in a thickness direction of the sensor substrates in plan view.
