Abstract

The present invention provides an image scanning module including a first unit, a second unit, and a third unit. The first unit having a light source is used for retrieving a first image. The second unit is used for generating a second image by focusing the first image. The third unit is used for generating an electric signal responsive to the second image. The first unit, the second unit, and the third unit are modules discrete from each other.

Claims (17)

1. An image scanning module, comprising:

a first unit for retrieving a first image;

a second unit for generating a second image by focusing said first image, said second unit including:

a lens;

a lens supporter for supporting said lens;

a lens clip for affixing said lens on said lens supporter;

at least a reflector positioned inside said lens supporter for receiving said first image and projecting said first image to said lens to generate said second image;

a mounting device for mounting said reflector; and

a first alignment device for adjusting a focus of said lens; and

a third unit for generating an electric signal responsive to said second image, said first alignment device being positioned between said lens and said third unit;

wherein said first unit, said second unit, and said third unit are modules discrete from each other.

2. The image scanning module according to claim 1 , wherein said third unit comprising:

a charge-coupled device (CCD) for retrieving said second image to generate said electric signal;

a second alignment device; and

a third alignment device, being positioned between said CCD and said second alignment device, for horizontally adjusting said focus of said lens;

wherein said second alignment device is positioned between said first alignment device and said third alignment device, for vertically adjusting said focus of said lens.

3. The image scanning module according to claim 2 , wherein said third alignment device positions said CCD and prevents said second image from dissipation, so as to transfer said second image to said CCD substantially without loss.
