Abstract
A camera module of the present invention includes a plurality of projections 61b on a bottom base of a driving section 61 of an AF/Zoom module. The projections 61b are radially extended from an aperture 63 formed on an optical path. By this, adhesive can be spread over the projections 61b when bonding a lens holder and the AF/Zoom module together. Furthermore, even if the adhesive is excessively applied, excessive adhesive can be retained between the projections 61b. As a result, it is possible to realize a solid-state imaging device which makes it possible to improve adhesive strength between the lens holder and the AF/Zoom module and easily bond the lens holder and the AF/Zoom module.
Claims9
A solid-state imaging device, comprising:
- an imaging unit having a solid-state image sensor;
- and
- an optical unit including:
- a lens for guiding extraneous light to a receiving surface of the solid-state image sensor;
- a position adjustment section for adjusting a position of the lens;
- and
- a lens holder for holding therein the lens and the position adjustment section,
- the position adjustment section being bonded to the lens holder,
- the lens holder and the position adjustment section each having an aperture being formed on an optical path thereof, and
- the lens holder or the position adjustment section having a plurality of projections on a holding surface of the lens holder for holding the position adjustment section or on that counterpart surface of the position adjustment section which faces to the holding surface, the plurality of projections being radially extended from the aperture on the holding surface or on the counterpart surface.
An electronic device, comprising a solid-state imaging device,
- the solid-state imaging device comprising:
- an imaging unit having a solid-state image sensor;
- and
- an optical unit including:
- a lens for guiding extraneous light to a receiving surface of the solid-state image sensor;
- a position adjustment section for adjusting a position of the lens;
- and
- a lens holder for holding therein the lens and the position adjustment section,
- the position adjustment section being bonded to the lens holder,
- the lens holder and the position adjustment section each having an aperture being formed on an optical path thereof, and
- the lens holder or the position adjustment section having a plurality of projections on a holding surface of the lens holder for holding the position adjustment section or on that counterpart surface of the position adjustment section which faces to the holding surface, the plurality of projections being radially extended from the aperture on the holding surface or on the counterpart surface.
