Abstract
The driving control CPU and the data display panel of a camera are integrated on top of a single mounting board, such as a circuit board, which is built into the interior of a camera main body. The display panel is held to the mounting board by a holding frame, which is affixed to the top of the mounting board. This display panel is situated so as to overlie the upper portion of the CPU, which is affixed to the circuit board. The electrical connections (bonding pads) for the display panel and for the shutter mechanism can be situated on opposite sides of the CPU. The connections (e.g., bonding pads) for the display panel are pressed against the connections on the mounting board to electrically connect the CPU and display panel. Similarly, the connections of the wiring connection from the shutter mechanism are pressed against the connections for the shutter mechanism formed on the mounting board to electrically connect the CPU and the shutter mechanism.
