3-Line Ccd Position Matching Circuit; Sensor Color Correction Circuit - Canon 1130 Service Manual

C. 3-Line CCD Position Matching Circuit
The copier's CCD consists of three lines and, as such, signals resulting from a line image
scanned by the scanner at a single point will reach the CCD with a discrepancy (about 0.38 mm in
relation to the copyboard glass; equivalent of 6 lines).
To correct such a discrepancy, the 3-line CCD position matching circuit temporarily stores the
R and B image signals in a line memory for output together with the G image signal. (See Figure 4-
403.)
The delay of the G image signal is maximum at a 400% ratio. As a result, the R
image signal and the B image signal are sent out with a delay of 48 lines and 24
REF.
lines, respectively.
D. Sensor Color Correction Circuit
The sensor color correction circuit serves to correct the transmission characteristics of the B, G,
and R filters found inside the CCD.
Ideally, each filter should pass light of specific wavelengths and block light of other
wavelengths. In reality, however, light of wavelengths within a and c in Figure
while light of wavelengths within b is blocked, requiring the use of the circuit. (See Figure 4-404.)
