Claim 3:
4. The image-reading apparatus according to claim 3, wherein
the photo diodes include a plurality of photo diodes arranged in a single direction,
the plurality of light-reflecting members extends in the single direction,
the at least one light-reflecting member includes a first end portion and a second end portion that are at different positions in a direction that intersects the single direction and a thickness direction of the at least one light-reflecting member,
the reflected light is incident on the at least one light-reflecting member from another light-reflecting member that is adjacent to and upstream of the at least one light-reflecting member in a direction in which the reflected light travels,
the reflected light is incident on the at least one light-reflecting member from the other light-reflecting member that is adjacent thereto and upstream thereof at a position nearer to the first end portion than a normal to a light reflection surface of the at least one light-reflecting member, the normal passing through the second reflection location, and
the plurality of light-reflecting members is installed such that the second reflection location moves toward the second end portion when the at least one light-reflecting member inclines such that the second end portion approaches the other light-reflecting member relative to the first end portion.
