In an image sensor having, in a frame equipped with a transparent cover engageable with an objective, a light emitter for radiating light over the objective, an optical system for condensing light reflected from the objective and for directing the light to a predetermined position, a light receptor for receiving the light directed by said optical system, electronic elements constituting the light receptor are mounted on a long substrate, and other electronic elements are mounted on a single short substrate, which is attached to the long substrate at a portion other than the portion where the light receptor is mounted. This image sensor can be assembled in a reduced number of steps, preventing soldering flux from flying to the light receptor.

An image sensor has a frame including a reading window formed therein at the top of the frame. The reading window is closed by a glass covering which is adhered to the frame through an adhesive. First and second grooves are provided in the frame to extend along the reading window. After the adhesive has been charged into the first groove, the glass covering is placed and pressed against the frame top so that the glass covering will be adhered to the frame top through the adhesive. At this time, any excess adhesive may be received and held by the second groove.

An image sensor includes a frame 1, a light source unit 4 located in the frame 1 for irradiating light onto an original A to be read, a light receiving sensor 5 located in the frame 1 and including a plurality of light receiving portions arranged therein, and an optical system 6 located in the frame 1 for causing the light from the original A to be received by the light receiving portions in the light receiving sensor. The image sensor also includes at least one positioning portion formed in the frame 1 at an appropriate location and used to mount the light receiving sensor substrate 3 in the frame 1 and a stopper engaging and receiving portion 12 formed in the frame at an appropriate location. A leaf spring 2 has a stopper 21 formed thereon for detachably engaging the stopper engaging and receiving portion. The light receiving sensor substrate 3 properly positioned in the frame relative to the positioning portion 11 is resiliently biased against the frame. Thus, the light receiving sensor substrate can be detachably mounted and held in the frame.

There is provided an image sensor which can reduce loss in light emitted from a light emitting section toward an object to be sensed and also variability in the distribution of light and which can be produced with a small-sized structure with a reduced number of parts and with a decreased manufacturing cost. An optical path from the light emitting section to a transparent covering on which the object is to be placed is surrounded by a light reflecting portion. Light from the light emitting section can be irradiated onto the transparent covering without reduction in the amount of light while being repeatedly reflected by the light reflecting portion. The light reflected by the object is condensed by a condensing lens, the condensed light being then received by a light receiving section mounted on the same base plate as in the light emitting section. At the light receiving section, the light is converted into an electrical signal.

A small-sized image sensor which does not exert the deleterious influence of soldering, especially, on the light receiving device when attaching a substrate for a light emitting device. A glass cover (11) is attached to the upper portion of a frame (10), and a substrate of a light projecting portion having a light emitting device (12) is fixed to the frame (10) in such a manner as to be inclined toward the glass cover (11). A rod lens array (14) for converging the light reflected from a copy on the glass cover (11) is fixed to the frame (10) in such a manner as to be perpendicular to the glass cover (11). A sensor substrate (16) having a light receiving device (15) is disposed directly under the rod lens array (14), and a hybrid substrate (21) with an electronic part (20) mounted thereon is disposed in a space within the frame (10). The substrates (16) and (21) are connected by a lead frame (22 ) soldered to the bottom surface of the sensor substrate (16). The lead frame also supports the substrate (21).

A light emitting element array substrate includes a plurality of light emitting elements arranged in line on the substrate with less dispersion in irradiation to a surface to be irradiated and can be manufactured with a reduction of cost. The light emitting element array substrate also includes light reflecting members formed on the light emitting element array substrate about light emitting elements having less irradiation. The light reflecting members re-reflect the light emitted from the light emitting elements and also reflected by surrounding parts so that the quantity of light at portions of the light emitting element array substrate having less irradiation is complemented by the re-reflected light to level the entire irradiation in the light emitting element array substrate.

An image sensor can easily adjust the focus by the use of an inexpensive focus adjusting means even if the dimensional accuracy in the image sensor frame is very low. In the image sensor or an optical character reader incorporating such an image sensor, an original document W, which is being conveyed onto a transparent covering by a platen roller, is irradiated by light from a light emitting element. The light reflected by the original document W is received and condensed by a rod lens array which is positioned perpendicular to the surface of the transparent covering. The condensed light is received by a light receiving element which is located directly below the rod lens array. At the light receiving element, the light is converted into an electrical signal. The image sensor includes a frame having an opened top which includes inner tapered sidewalls opposed to each other. When a transparent covering having the conventional configuration is to be mounted in the opened top of the frame, the focal length H can be easily adjusted by changing the inclination of the transparent covering relative to the opened top of the frame.
