  • Patent number: 8186863
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a linear light source having light guide with tapered saw tooth structures for Charge Coupling Device Module (CCDM). The linear light source comprises a light guide and at least two Light Emitting Diodes (LED's). The light guide includes two incident surfaces, a reflective surface, two refractive surfaces and an ejective surface. The reflective surface has a tapered saw tooth structure; the LEDs are disposed at two ends of the light guide. Upon emission of light from the LEDs, light enters into the light guide, reflected by the tapered saw tooth structures, and then ejected from the ejective surface. It is possible to form a U-shaped lambert distribution in the sub scanning direction, thereby generating the complementary effect for the pickup lens and the CCD image sensor of CCDM, as well as to create a linearly converged lambert distribution in the main scanning direction.

  • Patent number: 8143561
    Abstract: A Micro Electronic Mechanical System (MEMS) scan controller generating clock frequency and a control method thereof are disclosed. The MEMS scan controller is for a MEMS mirror in a bi-direction laser scanning units (LSU). By detecting resonant frequency of the MEMS mirror, the scan controller sends frequency modulation signal and amplitude modulation signal of the MEMS mirror to a bridge circuit of the MEMS mirror for adjusting and stabilizing the MEMS mirror. A clock signal corresponding to the resonant frequency of the MEMS mirror at the moment is also sent so that scan data is sent within the effective scanning window in forward direction/reverse direction. Thus high-precision scanning is achieved.
