Abstract
A photoelectric converter includes a transparent substrate having a photoelectric converting element provided on a surface opposing a document relating to reading of image information, a transparent support for supporting the substrate, and a light source provided on a surface of the support opposite to a supporting surface for the substrate. Light emitted from the light source is radiated on a document through the support and the substrate, and reflected light is received by the photoelectric converting element.
