Abstract
A scanning apparatus for scanning an image of a document includes a housing, a reflecting plate, a light emitting element having a substrate and a plurality of point light sources, and an image sensor. The housing has a slit formed on a top surface thereof. The reflecting plate is disposed in the housing, extends on an edge of the slit, and faces the slit. The substrate is fixed on an edge of the reflecting plate, and the point light sources are fixed on the substrate. Each point light source emits a scanning light to the reflecting plate, and the scanning light is reflected onto the document through the slit. The scanning light is reflected by the document to form an image light that enters the housing through the slit. The image sensor is disposed in the housing for receiving the image light and converting image light into image data.
