US 2017/0257537 A1 · CAMERA DEVICE

Abstract

A camera device which includes a holder which retains an optical member therein and a circuit board on which an image sensor is mounted. The holder is joined to the circuit board using an adhesive agent. The circuit board at least partially includes a metallic layer and a resinous layer stacked in a thickness-wise direction of the circuit board. The circuit board has a metallic layer-absent portion in which the metallic layer is partially omitted. The metallic layer-absent portion is located so as to overlap the joint between the holder and the circuit board in the thickness-wise direction of the circuit board, thereby minimizing the transfer of heat of the adhesive agent to the metallic layer. This achieves effective hardening the adhesive agent, which will facilitate the ease with which the camera device is assembled.

Dependent claims

A camera device comprising:

a circuit board (143) which at least partially includes a resinous layer (143c, 143e) and a metallic layer (143b, 143d, 143f) stacked in a thickness-wise direction thereof;
an image sensor (144) which is disposed on the circuit board;
an optical member (141) which works to direct light to said image sensor;
a holder (142) which holds said optical member;
and
a thermosetting adhesive agent (16) which achieves a joint between said holder and said circuit board,
wherein said circuit board has a metallic layer-absent portion (K) in which the metallic layer is partially omitted, the metallic layer-absent portion being located to overlap the joint between the holder and the circuit board in the thickness-wise direction of the circuit board.
