Abstract
An imaging device with a compact design allows illumination with a light source and imaging with an image sensor. An imaging device includes a front case having a front surface including a window and a lens-holder receptacle aligned with each other in a width direction (X-direction), a lens holder including a lens and attachable inside the lens-holder receptacle in the front case, a first circuit board on which an image sensor to receive light through the lens in the lens holder is mounted, and a second circuit board on which an LED to emit light through the window in the front case is mounted. The first and second circuit boards extend entirely in the width direction. The second circuit board is located frontward from the first circuit board.
Claims5
An imaging device, comprising:
- an enclosure having a front surface including at least one window and a lens-holder receptacle, the at least one window and the lens-holder receptacle being aligned with one another in a width direction of the enclosure;
- a lens holder including at least one lens, the lens holder being attachable inside the lens-holder receptacle in the enclosure;
- a first circuit board on which an image sensor is mounted, the first circuit board extending entirely in the width direction, the image sensor being configured to receive light through the least one lens in the lens holder;
- and
- a second circuit board on which at least one light source is mounted, the second circuit board extending entirely in the width direction, the second circuit board being located frontward from the first circuit board, the at least one light source being configured to emit light through the at least one window in the enclosure.
