In a contact type image sensor including an illumination section including a
light
source and light guide to illuminate a document, an image sensing element for converting
an optical image of the document into an electrical signal, a cylindrical rod lens
for forming an optical image on the image sensing element, and a frame for integrally
holding the illumination section, image sensing element, and cylindrical rod lens,
the light guide has undergone antireflection treatment on a surface thereof on
the document side.
