Abstract
A photosensitive chip, such as used in a scanner or facsimile, defines a linear array of photosites, each photosite being covered with a filter formed from a cured translucent liquid. At the critical ends of the chip, between the end photosite in the array and the edge of the chip, there is provided a ridge which protrudes over the thickness of the filter. This ridge maintains the physical integrity of the filter.
