Abstract
An imaging device includes LED elements disposed on a first surface of a board to be electrically connected to first and second wiring patterns, and emitting illumination light in an imaging direction of a camera. A first heat dissipation member and second heat dissipation members are mounted onto opposite sides of the board. The first heat dissipation member is disposed opposite to the first surface. Each of the second heat dissipation members is disposed opposite to a second surface in a region including an area opposite to the LED elements via the board.
Claims20
An imaging device, comprising:
- a camera;
- a board having a first surface, a second surface, and a wiring pattern disposed on at least one of the first surface and the second surface;
- a light-emitting element disposed on the first surface of the board to be electrically connected to the wiring pattern, and emitting illumination light in an imaging direction of the camera;
- and
- a first heat dissipation member and a second heat dissipation member that are mounted onto opposite sides of the board and that are electrically conductive and fastened to the board to cover at least the wiring pattern, and capable of dissipating heat generated at least by the board,
- wherein the first heat dissipation member is disposed opposite to the first surface, and
- the second heat dissipation member is disposed opposite to the second surface in a region including an area opposite to the light-emitting element via the board.
An imaging device, comprising:
- a camera including a metal shield covering side surfaces of the camera except for a side surface that crosses an optical axis of the camera;
- a board having a first surface, a second surface, and a wiring pattern disposed on at least one of the first surface and the second surface;
- a light-emitting element disposed on the first surface of the board to be electrically connected to the wiring pattern, and emitting illumination light in an imaging direction of the camera;
- and
- a first heat dissipation member and a second heat dissipation member that are thermally insulated from the metal shield and that are mounted onto opposite sides of the board, and capable of dissipating heat generated at least by the board,
- wherein the first heat dissipation member is disposed opposite to the first surface, and
- the second heat dissipation member is disposed opposite to the second surface in a region including an area opposite to the light-emitting element via the board.
