An image reading device includes plural light sources that irradiate an image reading target with light at different angles; and a switching mechanism that sequentially switches the light incident to the image reading target from the plural light sources during an image reading operation on the image reading target.
1 . An image reading device comprising:
a plurality of light sources, comprising a first light source and a second light source, that irradiate an image reading target with light at different angles; and
a switching mechanism that sequentially switches the light incident to the image reading target from the plurality of light sources during an image reading operation on the image reading target,
wherein a turning-on time of the second light source is set to be shorter than a turning-on time of the first light source.
2 . The image reading device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the switching mechanism includes a control section that controls turning-on of the plurality of light sources and sequentially turns on the plurality of light sources during the image reading operation.
3 . The image reading device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the control section sets turning-on times of the plurality of light sources to be different from each other.
4 . The image reading device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the second light source has a smaller incidence angle of light with respect to the image reading target than the first light source.
5 . The image reading device according to claim 4 ,
wherein the control section sets processing on an image obtained by the first light source to be different from processing on an image obtained by the second light source.
6 . An image forming apparatus comprising:
the image reading device according to claim 5 that reads an image from an original document that is the image reading target; and
an image forming section that forms an image on a recording medium on the basis of information regarding the read image.
7 . An image forming apparatus comprising:
the image reading device according to claim 4 that reads an image from an original document that is the image reading target; and
an image forming section that forms an image on a recording medium on the basis of information regarding the read image.
8 . An image forming apparatus comprising:
the image reading device according to claim 3 that reads an image from an original document that is the image reading target; and
an image forming section that forms an image on a recording medium on the basis of information regarding the read image.
9 . An image forming apparatus comprising:
the image reading device according to claim 2 that reads an image from an original document that is the image reading target; and
