MANUFACTURE OF DRIVE COMPONENT UNIT FOR IMAGE READER, DRIVE COMPONENT UNIT INTERMEDIATE UNIT, THE DRIVE COMPONENT UNIT FOR THE IMAGE READER AND THE IMAGE READER PROVIDED THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the manufacturing cost by facilitating the manufacture of the drive component unit provided with a light source and a light-receiving element in the case of configuring the image reader, where a light emitted from the light source is emitted to a linear area using a light guide member. SOLUTION: This manufacture method manufactures a drive component unit where a 1st board 3A and a 2nd board 3B are placed and the respective front sides are in crossing with each other, a light source 5 for lighting an original is mounted on the front side of the 1st board 3A, and an image reading light-receiving element 40 is mounted on the front side of the 2nd board 3B is provided with a process where the light-receiving element 40 and the light source 5 are mounted on a printed circuit board 3 with conductor wires 31A, 31B mounted thereon at least part of which are folded to be conductive to the light-receiving element 40 and the light source 5 respectively and a process where the printed circuit board 3 is separated into a 1st board 3A and the 2nd board 3B, without breaking the conductor wires 31A, 31B at a foldable position of the conductor wires 31A, 31B.
