ABSTRACT:
A photoelectric encoder using a lens array for dividing an image of a scale pattern into a plurality of regions to be detected and focusing them onto an array of light receiving elements, comprises, between the scale pattern and the lens array, a light-shielding array for reducing the effect of external disturbance light. The light-shielding array may be formed as a thin film pattern on a lens array side of a transparent cover glass which provides internal protection.
