Abstract:
In accordance with an embodiment, a lens mirror array includes a plurality of optical elements integrally connected in a first direction. Each optical element includes an incident side lens surface through which light enters the optical element, a ridge located at an edge of the incident side lens surface, a reflection surface on which light incident on the incident side lens surface is reflected, an exit side lens surface through which light reflected by the reflection surface exits the optical element, and a groove surrounding the reflection surface except for a portion adjacent to the ridge, the portion adjacent to the ridge connecting to an adjacent optical element in the plurality of optical elements.

Claim (Index 7):
An image forming apparatus, comprising:\n an illuminating device configured to illuminate a document on a document table glass; a lens mirror array having a plurality of optical elements aligned in a first direction; and an image sensor configured to receive reflected light from the document via the lens mirror array and output an image signal, wherein each optical element in the plurality of optical elements includes:\n an incident side lens surface through which light enters the optical element, \n a ridge located at an edge of the incident side lens surface, \n a reflection surface on which light incident on the incident side lens surface is reflected, \n an exit side lens surface through which light reflected by the reflection surface exits the optical element, and \n a groove surrounding the reflection surface except for a portion adjacent to the ridge, the portion adjacent to the ridge connecting to an adjacent optical element in the plurality of optical elements.
