Abstract
A vehicular camera includes a cap having a barrel portion disposed to an outer circumference of a lens barrel and a second edge portion. At least a part of the second edge portion overlaps the circumference of the first lens and overlaps the first edge portion. Each of the plurality of protrusions is oriented from the barrel portion of the cap toward the optical axis, and protrudes along the first surface of the first lens. A first protrusion and a second protrusion are disposed adjacent to each other. A part of the first protrusion overlaps the first edge portion, and a part of the second protrusion overlaps the first edge portion. A first top portion and a second top portion are closer to the optical axis than the first edge portion, and the first surface of the first lens is exposed between the first and second top portions.
