An image pickup device provided on a base board, comprises an image pickup element provided on the base board and including a photoelectrically converting section in which pixels are arranged, a peripheral surface formed around the photoelectrically converting section and a side surface crossing the peripheral surface; an optical member including a lens section to form an image of an object onto the photoelectrically converting section of the image pickup element, a leg section to support the lens section and a contact surface to be brought in contact with the image pickup element, wherein the lens section, the leg section and the contact surface are made in a single body. The optical member is mounted on the image pickup element such that the contact surface is brought in contact with the peripheral surface or with a surface member when the surface member is provided on the peripheral surface.

Image pickup device and image pickup lens

A solid image pickup device includes an image pickup unit on which image pickup elements are arranged in a two dimensional form, a print on which the image pickup unit is mounted, and protrusions formed in a pattern form of a conductive material on a floor area, of the print board, covered by the image pickup unit such that the protrusions surround a central part of the floor area, wherein the image pickup unit is fixed with an adhesive on the protrusions and the floor area of the print board.

Solid image pickup unit and camera module

An image pickup device includes an optical member; a semiconductor image pickup element having a photoelectric converter for photoelectrically converting a light flux converged by the optical member into electric signal and for storing the electric signal thereon, and an analog circuit being adjacent to the photoelectric converter for outputting the stored electric signal in the photoelectrical converter; and an incident light preventing portion for preventing a light flux from a space between a wiring layer provided on the analog circuit and a wiring layer provided on the photoelectric converter.

Image pickup device for minimizing image degradation from stray light flux entering its structure

A producing method for an image pickup device in which an image pickup optical unit that picks up an image of an object is provided on a base board, wherein there are provided a first process for mounting an image sensor and other electric parts on the base board and a second process for assembling the image pickup optical unit on the base board from one direction, and the first process and the second process are independent from each other.

Producing method of image pickup device

A CMOS image sensor comprising: a light receiving unit as a photoelectric conversion portion; a signal processing circuit unit; a first color filter layer array and a first microlens array layer, which are provided on an upper surface of the light receiving portion; and a second layer comprising at least one of a color filter layer and a microlens array layer, provided on a region of at least a portion of an upper surface of the signal processing circuit portion.
