Abstract
An image sensor comprises a light emitting element for emitting light to be irradiated onto the original document, a light receiving element for receiving the light reflected by the document, and a connector, all of which are mounted on the same base plate. The base plate is then mounted in a frame. Therefore, the image sensor can be produced through a reduced number of assembling steps and with a reduced dimension.
