Abstract
An imaging device module includes a housing; and a lens system, an image pickup device, a shutter unit, an external circuit board and a flexible printed wiring board which are provided with the housing. The shutter unit is movable in an optical axis direction. The external circuit board is provided outside of the housing. The flexible printed wiring board, one and the other ends of which are electrically connected to the shutter unit and the external circuit board, respectively, is curved so as to intersect a plane including the optical axis at a position one of in front of and behind the shutter unit, so that the one and the other ends of the flexible printed wiring board are positioned on opposite sides of the plane.
Claims15
An imaging device module comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- a lens system, an image pickup device, a shutter unit, an external circuit board and a flexible printed wiring board which are provided with said housing, said image pickup device being positioned behind said shutter unit in an optical axis direction;
- wherein said shutter unit is movable in an said optical axis direction,
- said external circuit board is provided outside of said housing,
- one end of said flexible printed wiring board is electrically connected to said shutter unit, another end of said flexible printed wiring board is electrically connected to said external circuit board, said flexible printed wiring board is curved so as to intersect a plane including said optical axis, and
- said flexible printed wiring board extends behind said shutter unit, crosses over said optical axis, and connects to said external circuit board in front of said shutter unit.
An imaging device module comprising:
- a housing;
- a lens system, an image pickup device, and a shutter unit, which are accommodated in said housing, said image pickup device being positioned behind said shutter unit in an optical axis direction;
- and
- a flexible printed wiring board which extends from said shutter unit so that an end portion of said flexible printed wiring board is connected to an external circuit board positioned outside of said housing,
- wherein said lens system includes at least one lens element which is integrally moved with said shutter unit in said optical axis direction,
- said flexible printed wiring board extends from said shutter unit to said external circuit board so that a part of said flexible printed wiring board is curved so as to intersect a plane including said optical axis, and
- said flexible printed wiring board extends behind said shutter unit, crosses over said optical axis, and connects to said external circuit board in front of said shutter unit.
