Abstract

An illumination housing includes a glass platen for supporting a document, the platen having at least one surface area uniformly roughened. In one embodiment, both surfaces are uniformly roughened by an etching process. The surface of the platen are thus rendered diffusely reflective to specular hot or cold light spots formed by light reflected from optical components within the illumination system and compensates for platen-derived specular reflections into the projection lens.
