Abstract
A camera having a flexible printed board on which a semiconductor element is flip-chip-bonded, a light-shieldable member such as a housing, a lens barrel, or an outer member. An element formation surface of a semiconductor element flip-chip-bonded on the flexible printed board is arranged to oppose the light-shieldable member.
Claims8
A camera comprising:
- a flexible printed board having opposing major surfaces on which a semiconductor element is flip-chip-bonded so that an element formation surface of the semiconductor element engages one of said major surfaces along a portion of the flexible printed board,
- a light-shieldable member forming part of said camera;
- wherein said element formation surface of said semiconductor element flip-chip-bonded on said flexible printed board is arranged to face said light shieldable member so that the portion of the flexible printed board on which the semiconductor element is bonded lies between the light shieldable member and the semiconductor element and the light shieldable member shields the element formation surface from light entering into the camera.
A camera comprising:
- an inner member;
- an outer member of said camera at least partially enclosing said inner member and having a light incident portion on which external light is partially incident;
- a flexible printed board;
- and
- a semiconductor element having an element formation surface and being flip-chip-bonded on said flexible printed board, said flexible printed board being arranged in said camera so that said element formation surface faces in a direction away from said light incident portion of said outer member of said camera, whereby the outer member of the camera shields the element formation surface from light entering into the camera.
