Wikipedia is always there to help:
Telecentric lens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, the explanation is a bit dense, maybe. In more simplified terms, a telecentric photographic lens will manage light rays so they hit the sensor nearly perpendicular to the surface, meaning they stand a better chance of being actually detected by the sensor. That's because an electronic sensor has a smaller cone of acceptance than film. Microlenses can help a lot with this, changing the angle of incidence before the light rays actually touch the sensor surface.
