A camera window holding mechanism () for holding a terminal camera window () is provided in a shoulder portion of a camera module (), an opening (H) is formed in a center portion of the camera window holding mechanism (), and some of lenses on an object side of a lens unit () are accommodated in the opening (H).

Camera module including image sensor and camera window holding mechanism

A method of manufacturing a camera module that is low profile and that can achieve superior resolving power, a camera module, and an imaging device are provided. A positioning step of positioning an object-side group optical unit () along an optical axis direction with the use of a jig () such that the object-side group optical unit () is located so as not to be in contact with an image-plane-side group lens () and a fixing step of fixing the object-side group optical unit () to a lens holder () are included.

Method of manufacturing camera module and camera module

Provided is a camera module that is capable of driving with low power consumption and is small-sized and thin even in a case of having high resolution. A movable portion () provided in a lens driving device () of a camera module () has a shape that covers an upper side of a fixed lens () and at least a part of a side part (side surface) of the fixed lens ().

Camera module

A camera module () has an internal space () that abuts a wiring substrate () and is occluded, at least a part of a base material of the wiring substrate () is a porous portion () that is configured of porous ceramic, porous metal, organic fabric, or inorganic fabric and has interconnected air holes, and the internal space () is connected to the outside of the camera module () through the interconnected air holes.
