Optical member conveying device

An optical member conveying device which (i) conveys, to a given position on a side, from which light enters, of a sensor section including a photoelectric conversion section, an optical member into which a lens is incorporated and (ii) aligns the optical member with the given position of the sensor section, comprising:

• a holding section including at least one of (i) an adhesion head that changes a position and an orientation of the optical member while (a) adhering to a top surface of the optical member which top surface is an outer surface on a side, from which light enters, of the optical member and (b) holding the optical member and (ii) a chucking or suction device that changes the position and the orientation of the optical member while (a) making contact with a side surface of the optical member which side surface is adjacent to the top surface and (b) holding the optical member;
• and
• a control section which controls the holding section to mount, in accordance with a projection image, the optical member in the given position of the sensor section while (i) the holding section is holding the optical member and (ii) a light emitting element which emits light from above the top surface of the optical member toward an opening hole (a) from which light enters and (b) which is provided on the top surface of the optical member is provided, the projection image being obtained by projecting, by use of light which is emitted from the light emitting element, the opening hole on a side of a back surface which side is opposite to a side of the top surface of the optical member.
