Abstract
A contact type image sensor comprises a transparent substrate, photoelectric conversion elements disposed on the substrate, and an opaque film disposed selectively over the first photoelectric conversion elements. The first photoelectric conversion element over which the opaque film is disposed indicates a reference quantity of received light. The second photoelectric conversion element connected with the first photoelectric conversion element in adjacent relationship and having no opaque film disposed thereover indicates a quantity of light from an original document. A signal free from a varying luminance of the light source is obtained from the junction point of the first and second photoelectric conversion elements.
