Abstract
An image head assembly comprising: a substrate with at least a pair of apertures formed in the substrate; an optical assembly having at least a pair of pins that mate with the apertures within the substrate, the pins to the optical assembly being fixedly secured to the apertures within the substrate; an image sensor located between the apertures covered by a cover glass above the image sensor on the optical assembly; interface means for providing an electrical connection between the substrate and the image sensor; a lens system mounted on top the cover glass; and a single element blur filter contained within the lens system. The assembly contains a single element blur filter such as a cross-pleated blur filter. The lens system is prevented from being a reverse telephoto lens system with use of a blur filter that does not require a large back focus and is instead a telephoto lens system.
