Abstract:
An image reading chip includes: a first pixel that includes a first photodetector that receives light of a reduced image of a portion of an image and performs photoelectric conversion, and generates a first pixel signal by amplifying a signal generated by the photoelectric conversion; a second pixel that includes a second photodetector that receives light of a reduced image of a portion of the image and performs photoelectric conversion, and generates a second pixel signal by amplifying a signal generated by the photoelectric conversion; and a pseudo pixel that is not involved in reading the image. The first pixel, the second pixel, and the pseudo pixel are arranged along a first side, and the distance between the pseudo pixel and the second side is shorter than the distance between the first pixel and the second side and the distance between the second pixel and the second side.

Claim (Index 1):
An image reading device comprising:\n a first image reading chip that reads an image; and an optical unit that forms a reduced image of the image on the first image reading chip, wherein the first image reading chip includes: a first pixel that includes a first photodetector that receives light of a reduced image of the image and performs photoelectric conversion, and generates a first pixel signal by amplifying a signal generated by the photoelectric conversion; a second pixel that includes a second photodetector that receives light of a reduced image of the image and performs photoelectric conversion, and generates a second pixel signal by amplifying a signal generated by the photoelectric conversion; a first readout circuit that is electrically connected to the first pixel and outputs a first readout signal based on the first pixel signal; a second readout circuit that is electrically connected to the second pixel and outputs a second readout signal based on the second pixel signal; and a pseudo pixel that is not involved in reading of the image, wherein the first image reading chip has a shape that includes a first side and a second side that is shorter than the first side, the first pixel, the second pixel, and the pseudo pixel are arranged side by side in a direction in which the first side extends, a distance between the pseudo pixel and the second side is shorter than a distance between the first pixel and the second side, and the distance between the pseudo pixel and the second side is shorter than a distance between the second pixel and the second side.
