Abstract
An imaging unit includes an outermost layer lens, a housing, a vibrator, a piezoelectric element, an inner layer lens, a fixing portion, an imaging element, an imaging control substrate, and a case. The vibrator vibrates the outermost layer lens held by the housing. The piezoelectric element is provided on at least one surface of the vibrator. The case is joined to the housing and houses at least the imaging element and the imaging control substrate. Wiring electrically connected to the piezoelectric element extends from an inside of the housing so as to pass a plane including a mounting surface of the imaging control substrate on which the imaging element is mounted.
