Abstract
The maximum principal ray incident angle to an image surface is reduced in an image pickup device provided with an image pickup element. The image pickup device includes an image pickup lens, the image pickup element, and a cover glass. In the image pickup device, the cover glass is stuck on the image pickup element without containing air between them. In addition, in the image pickup device, the maximum incident angle of principal rays from the image pickup lens, to the cover glass is larger than 35 degrees. Furthermore, in the image pickup device, the refractive angle of the cover glass is at least 5 degrees smaller than the maximum incident angle.
