Abstract
An electronic device includes a housing main body having an opening, a transparent plate attached to an outer face of the housing main body so as to cover the opening, a light-emitting diode (LED) that is disposed in the housing main body to face outside via the opening and that illuminates a bar-code with illumination light, and an imaging unit that is disposed in the housing main body to face outside via the opening and that detects reflected light reflected on the bar-code in the illumination light. The housing main body is integrally formed with a shade configured to shade reflected light reflected on the transparent plate in the illumination light illuminated from the LED such that the illumination light does not enter into the imaging unit.
Claims5
An electronic device comprising:
- a housing having an opening;
- a transparent plate attached to an outer face of the housing so as to cover the opening;
- a light source disposed in the housing to face outside via the opening, the light source emitting illumination light to illuminate a bar-code;
- and
- a photo detector disposed in the housing to face outside via the opening, the photo detector detecting reflected light reflected on the bar-code in the illumination light,
- wherein the housing is integrally formed with a shade configured to shade reflected light reflected on the transparent plate in the illumination light illuminated from the light source such that the reflected light reflected on the transparent plate does not enter into the photo detector.
