Abstract

Abstract An improved optical holder having a cylindrical, threaded front chamber raised from a front side thereof, a locating hole perpendicularly disposed in communication with the threaded front chamber into which a tightening up screw is threaded to hold down a focusing lens assembly in the threaded front chamber, a CCD mounting chamber at a rear side thereof in alignment with the threaded front chamber for holding a CCD (charge coupled device), a plurality of annular flanges raised one behind another between the CCD mounting chamber and the threaded front chamber for eliminating the interference of reflected and refracted light, a window aligned between the annular flanges and the CCD mounting chamber, a color filter chamber disposed between the annular flanges and the window for holding a color filter, and a mounting leg in one corner of the rear side of the optical holder for fitting into a pin hole on a circuit board on which the CCD is mounted, for permitting the CCD to be fitted into the CCD mounting chamber in alignment with the window.
