Abstract
A contact type image sensor includes a transparent base plate having a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, a light receiving layer formed on the first surface of the transparent base plate, the light receiving layer generating an electric signal in response to light irradiated thereon, a driving circuit layer formed on the first surface of the transparent base plate, the driving circuit layer including a thin-film transistor for driving the light receiving member, and a conducting thin film formed on at least the second surface of the transparent base plate to thereby electrically shield the light receiving layer and the driving circuit layer.
