Abstract
In a color photoelectric conversion apparatus in which a plurality of semiconductor image sensors each having a plurality of light-receiving windows are arrayed, and a plurality of light-receiving windows in a main scanning direction constitute one color light-receiving element, the last light-receiving window or at least two light-receiving windows including the last light-receiving window of a first semiconductor image sensor of adjacent semiconductor image sensors, and the first light-receiving window or at least two light-receiving windows including the first light-receiving window of the next semiconductor image sensor constitute one color light-receiving element.
