Abstract

An image reading device has an entrance window provided in a substrate and receiving the light illuminating an information bearing member bearing information to be read. A photosensor is provided on the substrate for receiving the light that has entered through the entrance window and has been reflected by the information bearing member. Further, a protective layer is formed on the photosensor opposite to the substrate, in order to maintain a constant distance between the information bearing member and the photosensor, and has a multi-layer structure of separate functions, comprising a first layer of a first function at the side of photosensor, and a second layer of another function different from the first function.
