Abstract
A line sensor for color reading comprises a plurality of line sensors, each having photosensors arranged one-dimensionally, for the number of the color signals to be separated arranged in parallel with each other on one and the same substrate; and a color filter for color signal separation directly disposed on the light-receiving portion of each of said line sensors. The parallel line sensors may be disposed so as to be non-coplanar, e.g., by provision of insulating layers at least on wiring sections of the first and second line sensors, the second and third line sensors being disposed on the first and second insulating layers, respectively.
