Abstract
This image sensor includes a flexible wiring board connected with an optical sensor, bent around the portion connected with the optical sensor and so formed as to generate urging force oppositely to the bent direction and a support portion having a first support surface supporting the optical sensor. The optical sensor is urged toward the first support surface of the support portion to be fixed thereto due to the urging force of the flexible wiring board arranged in the bent manner.
Claims18
An image sensor comprising:
- an optical sensor;
- a flexible wiring board, having a sensor connecting portion connected with said optical sensor while supplying power to said optical sensor, bent around said sensor connecting portion and so formed as to generate urging force oppositely to the bent direction on said sensor connecting portion;
- and
- a support portion at least having a first support surface for supporting said optical sensor, wherein
- said optical sensor is urged at least toward said first support surface of said support portion to be fixed thereto due to said urging force of said flexible wiring board arranged in the bent manner.
2 more elements
An image sensor comprising:
- an imaging element imaging a subject;
- an X-Y stage moving said imaging element in directions X and Y orthogonal to each other;
- a Y stage supporting said X-Y stage to be movable in said direction X;
- a fixed stage supporting said Y stage to be movable in said direction Y;
- a first optical sensor for detecting a reference position of said Y stage in said direction Y;
- a second optical sensor for detecting a reference position of said X-Y stage in said direction X;
- a first support portion having an L-shaped first support wall surface for supporting said first optical sensor;
- a second support portion having an L-shaped second support wall surface for supporting said second optical sensor;
- a first flexible wiring board connected with said first optical sensor, bent around the portion connected with said first optical sensor and so formed as to generate urging force oppositely to the bent direction;
- and
- a second flexible wiring board connected with said second optical sensor, bent around the portion connected with said second optical sensor and so formed as to generate urging force oppositely to the bent direction, wherein
- said first optical sensor is urged toward at least said L-shaped first support wall surface of said first support portion to be fixed thereto due to said urging force of said first flexible wiring board arranged in the bent manner, and
- said second optical sensor is urged toward at least said L-shaped second support wall surface of said second support portion to be fixed thereto due to said urging force of said second flexible wiring board arranged in the bent manner.
