Abstract
A B line sensor is arranged at the center on a sensor array within the image formation range of a lens array, where the light amount is maximum. R and G line sensors are arranged on both sides of the B line sensor. With this arrangement, an image reading apparatus capable of suppressing variations in output levels depending on the colors of sensors and reading a high-quality image is provided.
