  • Publication number: 20120133999
    Abstract: A method and device of reading images includes a light source emitting at least three difference color lights. The light source emits color lights to an object in a predetermined order and frequency. The object reflects the color lights to three monochromatic sensor rows through a lens row to directly image the color light on the sensor rows. The light source changes the color light emitting to the object when the light source, the sensor rows and the lens row are moved for a predetermined, usually is a width of a pixel, to combine a color image without chromatic aberration.
