Perceiving the light which is reflected the body for the fit forma image sensor, by the fit

摘要

A close contact type image sensor having an improved structure and manufacturing process utilizes a body having integral reflective surfaces to eliminate assembly steps. The body and reflective surfaces are formed using different plastic materials in a single injection molding process. A material having highly reflective characteristics is used for the reflective surfaces. A light source is aligned with the reflective surface by pins in the sensor body which are inserted into holes in the light source. Alternatively, the light source can be mounted on a printed circuit board which has holes that are aligned with the pins. A self focusing lens is mounted in the body to focus reflected light onto a light detector which is mounted on a printed circuit board. A transparent cover piece is mounted in an opening in the body. Flat spring clips secure the printed circuit board to the body of the sensor.
