Abstract
Light emitting devices are formed on a surface of a solid state imaging device and are used as illumination light sources. In a solid state imaging device for use in an electro-endoscope or the like, an illumination light source need not be provided independently of the solid state imaging device. Hence, the electro-endoscope can be miniaturized and simplified in structure.
