Abstract

A compensating device for improving the scanning luminance of a scanner is disclosed. The compensating device utilizes a plurality of crutch-shaped light tubes to form a light-radiating device, thereby improving the scanning luminance at the two ends of the straight-line portions of the light tubes. Consequently, the object is scanned by a uniform and sufficient radiating light source and precise scanning signals are obtained and processed, thereby improving scanning quality.
