Abstract
A sensor substrate () which includes phototransistors (), each having a photosensitive semiconductor layer, and auxiliary capacitances () connected to the drain electrodes D of the corresponding phototransistors (), and detecting ICs () for detecting a photoelectric conversion amount of the sensor substrate (), which is connected to a source electrode S of the phototransistor (), are provided. In the auxiliary capacitance (), a predetermined amount of charge is stored, and also stored are the charge as generated by an emission of a light beam onto a photosensitive semiconductor layer in the non-conductive state of the phototransistor (). Each detecting IC () detects a photoelectric conversion amount of the sensor substrate () based on the amount of charge remaining in the auxiliary capacitance ().
