Abstract:
    An image input device comprises a mirror body which is designed in a polygonal prism form and has side peripheral surfaces each formed of a mirror face, image pickup light from a subject being reflected from the mirror face, and a linear sensor for taking the image pickup light reflected from each mirror face of the mirror body to perform photoelectric conversion on the image pickup light. The mirror body is arranged so that the length direction thereof is substantially parallel to the length direction of the linear sensor, and disposed so as to be rotatable around a shaft at the center of the bottom surface which are substantially perpendicular to the length direction of the mirror body.
