Optical reader imaging module

Problem to be solved.To provide an inexpensive and space-saving barcode decoding optical reader having durability without using laser scanning.

Solution.An imaging module 10 couples and supports a solid image sensor, an imaging optical element, and a light source, and is adapted to project light from the light source toward a target. A body part is composed with a short periphery so as to be held in the hand, and it is extended from an enlarged head part. A trigger 113t activating decoding action is disposed in the enlarged head part, the imaging module 10 is disposed in the enlarged head part, and the optical reader is at a distance away from the target and composed to obtain an electronic display of the target.
